Iran.
Do you think it's entirely feasible that the U.S. will launch an attack? I think that this country seems to be gearing up in that direction, but when I hear how our military is stretched so thinly at this point (and the Repugs don't seem to want to call for a draft) - how can we actually go about attempting this?

But, then, of course, I remember that it IS the Bush Regime and they don't seem to use any kind of logic in making plans to wage war... or anything else.

1. Anything is "possible" with this administration as you stated!
They are racheting up the sabers once again, according to what I read and see in the news. Ships playing war games in an area that is provocative to the Iranians. The US will bomb their way to war, so a stretched military has little to do with any strategy that this administration would employ....this time.

Hope you've at least signed the Stopiranwar.com petition of General Clark's and VoterVets. General Clark has been 100% right thus far, so if he bothered to put up such a website, he must have had good indications that agressive action towards Iran on our part was in the immediate future.

Thus far, we are 40,000 strong. Join us instead of waiting till to late! This action can only count if we are great in numbers! :patriot:

7. Iran is can be hit very hard by an air attack. 80% of population live in 7
cities along their western border with Iraq. 15% along eastern border in 2 cities and only 5% within the vast middle. The only question is when will it happen.

8. Crappity-crap.
That's what I'm afraid of. Where do we go from there? How would the countries of the world choose-up sides?
What a frightening mess this War Crimes President has and is getting us into. And to think that he's a person of absolutely no patriotism or integrity - hid out during Viet Nam but has not a second thought of sending other people's loved ones to face the battles that he, himself cannot.
