what do you think iran is going to do?

Being that i think that Iran is being fueled by satan, i believe that they will continue to rant and rave, and pretend to be powerful when they are weak, and will build their terrorist army, and their bombs, and do all they can to destroy Israel.  I believe that unless the world does something to stop this it will continue.  I believe that in any eventuality it will not be an end to terrorism or the jihad against Israel.  Remember the muslim state of Pakistan is already a nuclear state, and they too have terrorists. Iraq is in Chaos and unstable, what leaders that will generate is yet to be seen.  Iran is a threat to the region but not as much to the US except by economic means of crude oil control.  Unless there is a change of heart in the minds and hearts of the muslim people the problem will cascade into nuclear terrorism, probably sooner than many think.  \n\n-LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF

It looks as though the Iranians will be involved in the next one, although I can't say I know who they'll fight. They talk tough, but aren't dumb enough to provoke the US or Israel.

Iran has successfully out-manouvred the US at every stage of this developing crisis. They've done so through skillful diplomacy, using rhetoric aimed more at their allies than at the West, thus building a huge Worldwide backing, not out of support for Iran, but out of common hatred for the bully boy tactics of Bush America. \n\nAmerica has no answer to the Iranians because it understands  only one response to its belligerence. America expects States to roll over and surrender to its might. When this doesn't happen America can't cope. Iran knows this and is having enormous fun making America look ridiculous. Its all a game and America is losing every move.\n\nIran also knows America is not a serious military threat. America would be taken apart if it tried to take on Iran because the whole Islamic World would be aligned with Iran in a flash. So what does America have to do? It can do only one thing: Start treating Iran with respect and negotiate a settlement as a partner in this little World instead of acting the bully boy.

There's lots of saber rattling right now, but I think the people in power would be stupid to try and invade Iran - the Islamic view of the Western nations isn't so great as it is (especially now), and any attack against Iran would really be adding fuel to the fire.

Bush will attack Iran very soon. He is looking for the next thing to direct the American people's attention away from the disgusting criminal activities of his administration and for the most part the whole Republican party. You Christians better get ready to kiss your asses goodbye if you truly believe whats written in the bible.\n\nThe only logical response to a first strike from the USA is for Iran to nuke Israel. And maybe European countries. They don't have the long range missiles to hit the USA but they will do as much damage to the government of Israel because the U.S. government funnels so much money into the country. And of course their hatred of Jews. When you see Iran push the button and before the nukes hit the ground Israel will have launched missiles at every Muslim nation in the Middle East area. The government of Israel feels that if it's going to be wiped out it will take every Muslim nation with it.

soon, it definitely depends on Iran - if Iran does not comply and keeps going for nuclear weapons, we will be invading Iran for sure.  \n\nNear-term Iran, However I think China down the road may be WWIII if there ever is one.

Right now, I would say the score is Lions - 2, Christians - 2, however that could change at any time.  The Iranians are certainly shrewed with their threat of cutting off oil.  They are a major player in the oil production business, so it would hurt internationally if they were to do that.  On the other hand, how much of their bullshit are we prepared to take and not just them but Russia and China, too.  This little charade going on about Iran not accepting Russia's nuclear proposal is nothing more than a stalling tactic on the part of both countries.  If we are so stupid as to trust Russia, than we all need our heads examined, starting with the White House. The winner will be the one designated to turn off the lights when all is said and done!

Difficult to call, there will already be a number of plans drawn up (if there weren't then the planning teams should be fired). Watch for the following:\n\n* movement of new air units to the Gulf (especialy stealth aircraft). Stealth is short ranged and will need to launch locally.\n\n* Movemenmt of extra aircraft carrier battle groups (less likely).\n\n* Pronouncements in the media of the evilness of Iran's government.\n\n* Generous settlement packages being turned down.\n\n* More leaks of intelligence on how close the bomb is to being ready.\n\n* Senior government representatives touring the area (especially Saudi Arabia).\n\n* Israel increasing friendly relations for no apparant reason (signal Israel may strike).\n\n* increased US aid to Israel (esp military equipment) - as above but more likely that the US has persuaded Israel to do it for them.

I think Iranian government(which is separate from its people) is developing Nuke Weapons (in their own words) to promote Islam in other countries. This is one of their goals. I think U.S and other countries must be aware that this regime doesn't care about it's own people, and so they don't care about anyone in the world. \nIran is one of the richest oil nations, but look how their citizens are living!!!! all the money form oil exports are in their own bank accounts in foreign countries.\nDo you know how many political prisoners are in prisons in Iran!!! They kill, torture and do lots of stuff that you can't imagine. \nI think the first thing U.S and other countries can do is to freeze their assets and money in banks.  some of them(people in Iran Regime) has Green card and travel to U.S. if Bush means what he says how they can travel to his country so easily.\nIranian people has nothing to do with all this. Why they should pay the price. All these things you see in T.V that some people are supporting them, these are their own people and they are paid to be there. \nBut in my opinion they should try to resolve the problem in a way that Iranian people pay the least price.

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

It is doubtful with the lunatic they have as a president. I think before the diplomatic procedures can be played out, he is going to either strike Israel, or give cause to have the Israeli's take a preemptive strike due to his continued threats towards Israel. If Iran manages to get nukes, the entire world, but primarily the US and Israel will be in real danger. Any move toward diplomacy is a smoke screen, and is just meant to buy more time. They learned from the UN/Iraq debacle, and he probably has no intention of keeping these nukes in Iran. He will ship them abroad in an attempt to get them over here to America and Israel.

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.

Neither. Iran is run by power-mad fascists, who will never act civilized, but they're not necessarily crazy enough to actually use a nuclear device. So, it would probably be a standoff between the civilized world and Iran over this issue.\n\nDiplomatically, every country but the US is afraid to use any pressure. No embargos or boycotts or sanctions. The 3 Euro-wankers that have been negotiating with Iran these past couple of years wasted a lot of time, because they were too much the sitzpinklers, to threaten a punishment of Iran for failure to comply.\n\nThe UN, as usual, is too busy sipping tea and denouncing America and Israel, to actually do or say anything useful.\n\nSo, like for the past 100 years, it means the USA has to do the heavy lifting for the good of mankind once again.\n\nI wish we would tell Iran, "If you attack the USA or Israel, we will wipe you off the face of the earth. Everybody else is on their own, do what you will. May Allah be merciful to them."\n\nI'm tired of spending American blood and treasure defending wankers.

It will be like sticking your hands in a wasp's nest.  You certainly can't say with certainty what will happen, but most likely it won't be good.\n\nThe unusual thing about IRAN is that its young progressive population is also anti-west.  These are not the camel-riding people you think of that hate the West.  These are young intellegent individuals and given a common enemy I don't think would be good for anyone (including Iran).

i believe the Iranian President is kinda radical crazy and is pretty much hellbent on controlling other countries in the middle east,Everyone knows he wont be happy till they have nucks,and I believe he will use them, unfortunately for the Iranian people most countries believe that also.He's probably Hitler reincarnate.

I think that we will eventually get into a war with them, if some bleeding heart liberal gets elected, I don't think we will do anything to stop them.  \n\nHeres what I want to happen, We need to either set up a military overthrow, and set up a true democracy there, or we need to go in there, and systematically destroy every facility that is even remotely assosciated with neuclear anything, and then assasinate a bunch of people in the government.\nHopefully, this is what bush will do, 1. Kill welfare, 2. with all that money, fund a full scale invasion of Iran.  3. If neccesary, draft...
