The attack on Iraq was somewhat beneficial to global peace. That is, if the United States had not seemed so threatening after attacking the armed country, then countries such as Libya would probably not have surrendered their nuclear weapons. Instead, more war may have started. Thus, if Iraq's attack does not seem like a sufficient deterrent, then Iran might be next. I also believe the continued occupation of Iraq is a suppressive action for further and more extensive terrorism by nation-states and factions.

Does Iran have any powerful friends?


Ideological loyalty is the act of giving your soul to a vague concept, to be manipulated by people smarter than you.

In a word 'no'. They are an isolated society in which very little information gets in or out.

Iran does have contractual friends such as Russia and France who wish to keep the status quo, for there is alot of money in those long term contracts to build Nuke plants.

I have heard saber rattling from the USA that Iran is harboring terrorists, lets hope the drums of war is only a feign so that the EU can have some leverage to diplomatically ease the pressure Iran is creating.

Iran is doing the same dance that North Korea is, reach an agreement, then break it, then more negotiations - reach a diplomatic compromise then break it again.

When we backed out of our support for the Shaw of Iran the Mid East began simmering in a religious stew which is now at a full boil.

Hindsight is always 20/20.

Well, the dust hasn't even settled in Iraq. Now will Iran be next?

What about North Korea? Why isn't North Korea next? Because China might retaliate?

The more pertinent question is: does Iran have any oil?
Based on Iranian terrorists in America that I turned over to the FBI the other month, I do think Iran has NEXT!
