  • @ Timberman -- Lots to say maybe

    Hmmm, there may be just a little more to say. The sub-heading also includes the phrase, "the false Iran/al-Qaida link".

    I suppose how much verbiage cum discussion that we would care to expend is proportional to how seriously one takes the threat of the putative attack on Iran.

    Does anyone here disagree that this would be a disaster? The consequences of an attack on Iran are: the probable closing of the Strait of Hormuz, the sinking of an American capital ship or ships with hypersonic Mosquit and or Silkworm anti-ship missiles, a larger regional war, war in the Lebanon, and perhaps intervention on behalf of the Iranians from the Chinese and the Russians. I could go on.

    No, it's a really bad idea, and one that must be strangled in its infancy.

    Some people say that America would not attack Iran, because that is crazy. Other people say that an attack on Iran is probable precisely because America is crazy.
