Is Iran likely to be next? or just few bombs?

Oil, delusions of grandure, and an experiment to see where are the limits of authoritarian power can be projected at home and abroad. \nYou can supress civil liberties easily if there was a war on.\nWe have people, unqualified, of limited vision, poisened by greed in charge of things.  I guess these people wanted to see them selves glorified in equestrian statues.

Iran hasn't even claimed they have an Atomic weapon yet.  They only announced today that they can enrich uranium.  they still have work to do to get the bomb.

Sometimes the entire Iran situation looks like Iraq, the current Iranian president 9being an independent candidate) seems like a perfect target to be the next Saddam Hussein. \n\nPolitically, the US is pressurizing the opposition to join them, as it is the governing regime will definitely go weak and then like in any other progressing economy they will have their foot in the door to make sure that there is a well paved road for them to commute whenever they want.\n\nI think only time will tell what exactly is the major game plan here, but one thing is sure it is not going to be a smooth ride and eventually the US will gain something substantial.

The US will only bomb.  They have no prayer of holding the country without a unified coalition of nations.  The bombing will probably take place in about another year.

Iran's president IS nuts, basically. He's spouting nonsense for internal consumption and hasn't completely understood yet that the international media picks it up and runs with it. Iran may or may not really be nuclear capable, but the ayatollahs who really run the country want their populace to think so. In any case, don't bomb them...yet.

My guess is about five years.  I'm planning to stay out of big cities as much as possible.  Iran is pursuing uranium enrichment technology; with high-quality U-235, it is almost trivially easy to build a nuclear bomb -- unlike plutonium technology, which the North Koreans tried, and which did not work very well.

Not the US, US will wait for others to fire first....Iran and North korea may be

I have to say, you have a very good name (I'm not trying to suck up). My guess is that the old adage will prove to be true: "if you don't know your history, you are doomed to repeat it." The leader of Iran will start building up his arsenal and he will start being threatening the surrounding countries. He will do something radical like bomb Israel and the world will try to appease him. But since he is a psychopath with nothing on his mind but wiping Israel from the face of this Earth, it will not work. He will start a big war and encite a lot of hatred of the Muslim people (more so than 9-11). It will progress in the same way that World War II progressed until someone does something. The only question is who will it be? Jaques Chirac made some statements standing up to him so it may even be France. Wouldn't that be ironic? The UN is not going to do anything about this just like it has never done anything about anything else. They are like an assistant principal they have no real authority.

No. All he's saying is that we are not, at this time, preparing for an attack on Iran. However, the option to attack is still there.

Read up: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enriched_uranium\n\nEven a 20% enriched uranium is sufficient to create a bomb.  That would be well within the capability of a nominal Iranian process.

Iran will be attack around the 2008 election bet on it

I think Bush has already decided to bomb Iran to prevent them from making a nuclear bomb.  Bombing Iran would cause World War III because China and Russia will go against the U.S. and we could all get nuked...)(

Israel is a lot less likely to be firing off nuclear weapons at their enemy-of-the-week than Iran is.  But who has the right to develope them and who doesn't - I don't know.   The US and the UN want to be the Police of the World, and that seems to cause more problems than it solves.

Yes. We would be happy to see the Iranians set off a nuclear bomb in their country. (Their country being Iran)

that is possible, if Iran has nuclear weapons we will need the best units to be stealthy and precise to ensure that they are destroyed rather then a whole bunch of regular soldiers knocking on the front door with a machine gun and smoke grenade.

it's not going to happen. the USA can't afford another war and the public is actually against invading iran.
