Default maybe you should question the "facts"

Plus if we go to war with Iran then the allies of Iran would join in and that is not what we need right now for the death would possibly be catastrophic...As the famous saying goes "In peace the youth bury their fathers but in war the fathers bury the youth."


I remember when i was a young boy I would lay in my bed at night and just wonder, wonder when a nuke would be launched and my family and friends would die. It was a childhood terror living during a war with nukes and with Iran supposedly developing nuclear power for "energy" it is only a matter of time before they succeed and team with Iraq publicly. I remember on a other political forum a few years back i mentioned my thoughts about Iraq and Iran coming together to fight us... It's funny how they mocked me for my "unrealistic" thoughts. They said it would never happen but now it seems that I was all too right.

So obviously this has two sides to it, wait for the attack or be the attacker. As the famous saying goes, "There is nothing so possible to make peace then to be ready for the attacker"
In 2003 Iran sent a message to the U.S. via the Swiss that it might be willing to compromise on a wide range of critical issues from its nuclear program to recognition of Israel. The Bush administration spat in their eye.

The recent Administration story that the government of Iran is suppying E.F.Ps to insurgents is so full of holes that its laughable. An article by Michael Knights in Jane's Intelligence Review thoroughly investigates the claim.
