is it actually going to happen? there are many countries that posess nuclear weapons such as india and israel! and especially after the war in iraq wouldnt the bush administration lose credibility if it invades another oil-rich nation?

I think the Bush administration has already lost all credibility.  I doubt they spend much time worrying about that.\n\nTo answer your question, in my opinion, no, we won't invade Iran.  I don't think the American public is prepared to go along with another war when we're already in the quagmire of Iraq.

First, if anybody believes we're going to invade either North Korea or Iran, then they are complete fools.\n\nSecond, if anybody believes that NKorea or Iran are going nuclear because of the foolish idea we'd invade them, they're even bigger fools than the complete fools.\n\nNKorea and Iran started their nuclear programs long before there was any threat from the US.\n\nWhy is the rest of the world so ignorant of simple historic fact?\n----------\nUh, what evidence? You somehow have detailed knowledge of the NKorean nuclear program? Perhaps it slowed until Clinton gave them 2 nuclear reactors.

I believe it is all about jealousy. I mean, look how much the west has as compared to the Arab States. If it were not for their oil, those countries would not have much more to offer. However, like the guy above said, trap a rat in the corner and it will defend itself. However,the rat is going up against the king of the jungle, a den of lions. It does not take much to see that they too strive to have power. But they wouldnt know how to control their power so thats the reason they cannot have nuclear arms. As far as Russia, they are in it for the money...what else. For the same reason they did not authorize the US invading Iraq, they were purchasing lot of oil from Iraq and selling it to the US. Its all politics but for Iran, they are out of their league.

Undoubtedly. The Saudis and Bushes are bosom buddies. Our invasion of Iraq after Saddam's invasion of Kuwait was at the behest of the Saudi family. They feared that Saddam would target them next after Kuwait.\n\nAdditionally, how many of the 9/11 attackers were from Saudi Arabia? And how many were from Iraq? Yet we chose to go after Saddam?\n\nThe U.S. Government has been romancing the Saudis for years with their left hand and stroking the Israelis with the right hand at the same time.  Oops switch those hands - I forgot that the Saudis were arabs - wouldn't want to insult them, you know. They might raise the price of crude to $60./bbl...........................\n\nThey sure are a bunch of princes, aren't they!

I agree with you completly. Our Gov't is ready for war whenever. It is just ridiculous that they are tying to start stuff with the USA. I mean just look at us in Iraq, they don't let us inspect their country for nukes and we attack. Iran is pratically starting a war with us and I bet you that we will attack them before the next presidential election.

Nothing will happen.  Yes, that's right absolutely nothing.  All countries in that Region and many parts of the world just want to put up a perceived threat of retalliatioin of if you mess with them.  They see Isreal with Nuclear weapons, so they just want a deterant as well.  I mean run through the scenario, Iran attacks Isreal with a nuclear weapon, Isreal retaliates and deystroys Iran.  Other countries attacks Isreal again, Isreal attacks them.  These people aren't dumb.  They know that if they attack someone, they'll have severe cosequences.  India and Pakistan haven't destroyed each other yet.   And besides, as soon as the Iranians get their nukes ready, the CIA will send in a team to assinate the Iranian leaders.  (That's if Isreal doesn't get to them first).

it's not wise at all....to martin s on top, i really appreciate what u guys did in iraq to help the pple. however, why did the US invade iraq in the first place? on ground that they are havin WMD, isn't it? However, in my own understanding (correct me if im worng), the UN didn't agree to use military force, the US went in themselves..and for the saddam issues...whatever or however tyrant he maybe, it's still his country's problems...why did the US wanted to interfere??? u said Iraq has lotsa terrorist training camps all around in iraq, there're so many training camps around in the world, indonesia, afganistan adn so much more in the middle east, can the US really eradicate all?? I think the reasons behind it is still the availabilty of iraq's oil..why, weapons of mass destruction, well, North korea and iran had admitted to owning them, but the US didn't attack them...and iraq, US claims there're WMD, where the hell are the evidence??

If Israel does attack, it will probably go like the opening weeks of the Iraq war.\n\nThe difference is that Israel probably won't occupy Iran and try to rebuild it. That's where the vast majority of American casualties came from.

To some degree the answer is "Yes", there is an ongoing threat of another attack somewhere in our country.\n\nThat being said, this is a very valid question.  To any thinking person, the Bush administration has lost most of it's credibility.  The old adage applies, "Fool me once, shame on you.  Fool me twice, shame on me".\n\nThere may have been a plot but I believe that what we've heard about it is probably exaggerated.  I think the real news story here is the timing between the disclosure of the "plot" and the controversy over the Domestic Spying Program.\n\nAlso, Jonathon Alter's column in this week's "Newsweek" discusses this.  Good reading.

It's delicate. My guess is that Iran will take Russia's offer for enrichment at least for now. I'm quite sure their research will go on, which means sooner or later someone's gonna call their bluff and then it won't matter whether they've been onest about the purpose of their program.\nThe sad thing is Iran still has the NPT and international law on it's side since none of the accusers managed to prove its program is -not- entirely civilian. \nWar right now would be damn inconvenient for US since to most neutral countries it will appear and incessant bullying and some might rally behind Iran, Syria and Venezuela.\nUS can't exploit Iraq oil just yet. Of course US companies will be preffered for drilling and/or refining Iraq oil but they have to wait for the situation in Iraq and give the appearance of elections.

There is plenty of oil for years to come.\n\nBut is your question about Canada predicated on the bizarre theory that we invaded Iraq for oil? That is so laughable that you need severe ridicule and degradation for being so gullible or delusional. I'm too tired right now.

If we keep permitting lunes to develop the resources to construct such a device (Iran, North Korea) and couple that with the Paki's, the conditions are in place. If nuclear war is the same as a pot-shot detonation, maybe in our harbor, or in the Persian Gulf, I think it's likely.

no cuz we dont have enough troops and money to start a war with Iran. but with Bush we never know what he will do next, like a drunk guy, you never know were he will stumble to.

Should have happened a long time ago.  Of course we can't win a military victory in Iraq.  It is JUST LIKE VIET NAM.  How soon we forget the lessons of history.\n\nSaudi Arabia should take the lead on policing Iraq, if it needs policing.  They have all kinds of oil money to spend.  Why in the world are we spending billions in Iraq, when we have already sent billions to the region buying their oil?\n\nLet's allow the region to govern and police itself.  If Saudi Arabia really felt threatened, don't you think they could buy enough weapons to defend themselves?  I haven't heard them say they were afraid of any of their neighbors, including Iran.  And Russia says absolutely nothing about these countries on their western border.  Why?\n\nWe should have been long gone.

Canada has a lot of oil. According to all the liberals, that is the only reason Bush invaded Iraq, so it makes sense that Canada would be next. Plus it's closer to home.

sincerely speaking it will never happen but if in case it happens prime minister will be from india off course...capital will be located in india but there will be another capital which will b out of india...i.e. two capitals...as far as the strength is considered off course no nation will dare to look down at us not even USA and this single nation will be able to fuck any other country whenever it wants including fucking USA...

If the Allies withdraw from Iraq before the Iraqi military can control their own country, within a couple of years people in the United States will be wringing their hands and saying, “woe is me.”  The reason is that this will be the biggest boost to the terrorists possible.  \n\nTerrorist ranks will swell with new recruits and the number of terrorists acts world wide will also increase.  What was a small sect within the world of Islam will take over suppressing those wanting peace.  \n\nEventually there will be a major attack on the United States, or Pakistan will be taken over by Islamic extremists and take charge of the nuclear weapons and missile deliver systems and this will lead to a nuclear attack on either India or Israel or both.  \n\nWhatever the scenario, this will leave the United States (and its close allies) with few options.  The first real atomic war will occur and it will be caused simple because we cut and ran from Iraq..
