There must be a risk that Bush does what many other leaders have
done in the past when domestic troubles become unmanageable:
*start a new war*. Is Iran being lined up as the whipping boy?


I think the neo-cons will try everything in their power to nuke Iraq
before the US presidential election.

I guess you meant Iran? Yes, I'm sure that's on the agenda although
I imagine the nukes Bush uses will be small ones to penetrate Iran's
underground facilities.

I think it's at that point that we'll find out exactly what weapons
Iran has already got.

I doubt if they've got any weapons to trouble America. What is
more likely IMV is Iran retaliating by stirring up big problems in
Iraq and maybe elsewhere, and possibly by trying to block Hormuz
to push up the oil price.

We haven't had weapons inspectors in Iran... And Russia seems VERY
VERY nervous at the thought of
bombing Iran. If I were Israel, I wouldn't be too hasty.

I'm pretty sure that the only thing that can stop decades long demise
of the US economy is a world war, which might result from the actions
of insane Americans in Iran.

That would fit into the predictions of American imperial power
expansionism made 8-10 years ago and in PNAC.
