My doomsday scenario is that Israel will attack first with planes and sub launched cruise missles "in self defense" in which case the US will "have no choice" but to come to Israel's aid. How the US will come up with the necessary troops is beyond me. The Iranians have an army of 350,000 or so, if I am not mistaken, and they are less likely to fold like Saddam's rag tag force. It also seems likely that the Iraqi Shi'ite will come to the support of their Shi'ite Persian brethern. Short of trying to create some sort of end-time Armegedon, none of this makes any sense. The end-timer scenario is merely madness.
John Adams said that all democracies commit suicide. George Bush seems determined to help us along.
