- MediaSight, on 07/08/2008, -0/+6bla bla bla. if they will shoot Tel Aviv, i bet Israel will destroy all fuel facilities in Iran, so they will to ask help (money) quickly, and as we all know, only the US helping other countries. the rest, like Europe or other reach countries just like to "pose" in the UN.
- The_Wallbanger, on 07/08/2008, -2/+5Every time the war rhetoric ratchets up a notch, gas prices respond accordingly. As a nation whose number one export is oil, Iran has hugely benefited from increasing energy profits spurred by geo-political tension. Similarly, GWB's Texan Good Ol' Boy network of oil execs sure haven't objected to destabilization of the region either.
Want to lower gas prices faster than drilling off-shore or going into ANWAR? The world's leaders needs to cool the inflammatory playground taunts and come to the table with some sense of diplomatic maturity.- GlassAgate, on 07/08/2008, -1/+2Diplomacy? Is that where people talk to resolve an issue,
instead of using blood shed? Hmmm....doesn't sound like
something that the current administration is familiar with.- paperboy6645, on 07/09/2008, -0/+1Nor, possibly, the next administration...even if it is Obama.

- orenshk, on 07/08/2008, -2/+3With all due respect to Iran, nobody is talking about occupying them. If they attack US shipping lanes in response to an attack on their nuclear facilities, I can guarantee that between Israel and the US, Iran won't have an operational air force within a day. The US may not be able to occupy Iran because it is overstretched on the the ground, but the US army/navy/air force is still a behemoth.
- sixsixsixtimer, on 07/08/2008, -0/+2What affects Israel affects the US and what affects the US affects Israel. We are in this together. If Israel goes to war with Iran, the US can not stiff its only ally in the middle east. Remember that Ahmadinejad denies the holocaust and would like to erase Israel from the map. If we allow Iran to do this, we will be next.
