I feel that if we attack Iran, we may bite off more than we can chew. They are probably the best armed of any of the Arab nations, reportedly exporting weaponry to other countries, and to the Palestinians. They also have the capability to lockdown the Strait of Hormuz if they wish. For years, they have had Chinese missles in their inventory, including the Silkworm set up in coastal batteries. They have also been developing their own missle delivery systems, and are capable of striking targets up to 500 miles from their borders. Although much of their Air Force is outdated American hardware, they have managed to keep much of it flying, and have modified weapons systems to use on those aircraft. They also still have numerous aircraft that came over from Iraq during the Gulf War. Iran has been quite busy since the Gulf War, modernizing it's military might. Do not sale them short. If we go against them, it will be on their territory, and among a populace where even the women fight. I would imagine that the threat to destroy oil fields is one they are fully capable of carrying out. ...<Warrior Spirit>  |

So what else is new? Iran and Iraq, especially, have been a boil on our butt for a long time. If this post is intended to elicit sympathy for the leaders of those countries... it doesn't. At least not from me. LYNDY AKA  |

UMM, sympathy no don't think so Lyndy, I'm American. Where did you ever get that this post was to elicit sympathy for Iran and Iraq? Did I mention anything of the sort for you to come up with that conclusion? |

This whole war on terror makes me sick. If the US was really concerned about terrorism they would be over in Zimbabwe right now saving lives. This is all about oil and keeping the weapons companies rich. With the billions being spent on this war effort, it would have been much cheaper just to buy the oil from non arab nations like Mexico, Venezuela and Norway. They dismantled the Taliban, they crushed the Al Queda, Osama is not in Afghanistan so bring the boys home. Iran has done nothing in years and years to anger the US why does the US now want to provoke them. Bye for now. Enki  |

Enki, you are right. It is all about oil, and one of those oil fields is in the Black Sea region. What is the cheapest and most effecient way to ship that oil? By pipeline through Afghanistan and Pakistan to loading facilities in the Indian Ocean. And yes, Iran has the capability of attacking the Black Sea fields also. ...<Warrior Spirit> |

Hi Warrior Spirit. Yes I have known that this is all about the pipeline through Afghanistan since the beginning of this conflict. That is why I am so suspicious of the WTC attacks. So many unanswered questions and odd occurances just adds to my suspicions. I think the Oil Companies have hijacked the Govt. and are using the US Forces for thier own benefit. Bye for now. Enki |

Hi Lisa, Well the two main antagonists in this war are Bush Jr. and Osama Bin Laden. Both families are very close to each other and thier business ties are well known. Both families are also Oil billionaires so I would say that Oil is the mein issue in this war. They needed a rason to go into Afghanistan and they got it. Who is behind it all is yet to be proved but Osama is the fall guy for the moment. What makes George Jr. happy is that they are now in Afghanistan and they get to build the pipeline and make billions more. Bye for now. Enki |

Hi Enki, I've read about the Bush's and the Bin laden's business dealings. It seems they have been dealing with each other for years already. That in itself seems kind of shady to me. |
