If Bush attacks Iran then Israel will be no more, and the potential for nuclear strikes from China and Russia, in the USA, are very real.
This is very serious.
Iran is not Iraq. They are strong and unified and have big friends in China and Russia.
Hezbola, Hamas, Syria, Egypt, and Iran's missiles would converge on Israel with tremendous force.
Oil prices would go to $200 a barrel, or more, thus crushing our economy.
Iran would take out Saudi oil production also raising prices even higher.
If Israel, or the USA, nukes Iran then that will be virtually the end of this world as we know it.
These are frightening times and the most frightening is we have leadership right now, in our country, who think we can somehow "win" a nuclear war.
If Gore would have been elected we would not be in Iraq and also be well on our way to energy independence.
Diplomacy would be paramount now and not war as the Bush corporate warmongers so dearly love.
We are in deep shit now.
