most probably america will easily solve this by droping a nuke on the iranians...maybe they'll drop it on moscow too if its convientent since they like bombing up other countries like japan,vietnam,afghanistan,iraq....etc..

iran has publicly stated in a clear and loud message, that it will use nukes on israel as soon as it gets them. Thus iran has already declared war on israel. (actually it is technically at a state of war against israel) Thus israel has full right, and responsibility to take out any nuke capability that iran may have. Israel will win, just like it has won every war that the arabs/muslims have started

Probably.  The Bush admin. is so corrupt and incompetent that they need to consider drastic measures to keep republicans in control of congress.  Shortly before the November 2006 elections, the Bush admin. will setup a scenario that justifies attacking Iran in the "war on terror", which most Americans would give up anything for.  \n\nSo everyone will rally around the flag, and keep the republicans in control and we can look forward to another 4 years of colossal deficit spending and slaughter of innocent people in the Iraq and Iran.

No,they won't.If America is smart enough I don't think they'll mess with Iran.'Cos Iran it's not Iraq or Afghanistan.And US doesn't have the financial and human resources to start another war.It would be lost from the start.

An air strike against Iranian nuclear facilities is unlikely to be surgical. There are about 50 sites associated with nuclear development in Iran and they are mainly sited in towns where civilian populations would be at risk. An attack would be certain to inflame the Islamic world against the US, almost certainly lead to a full-scale civil war in Iraq with the support of the predominantly Shiite Iranian people, and the US fleet in the shallow and narrow Persian Gulf would have to withdraw or be vulnerable to Iranian missile attack.The cynical explanation for the Bush Administration's threats against Iran is that, like the build-up to the invasion of Iraq, the real objective is "regime change", which has been re-enforced by the slump in President Bush's approval rating to 34 per cent.The ramifications of such an attack could be disastrous. At a minimum, it would likely “rally the Iranian public around an otherwise unpopular regime, inflame anti-American anger around the Muslim world, and jeopardize the already fragile U.S. position in Iraq.” But most importantly, a military strike would “almost certainly speed…up” Iran’s nuclear weapons development by sparking a “crash nuclear program that could produce a bomb in a few years.”

First is he is afraid that he would not be safe. I think any such discussion would have to take place on Neutral ground. Second, I don't think Bush would know how to respond. He, like the Iranian, is very much controlled by those around him. Bush has no idea what he is doing when it comes to the middle east. He is clueless about how to handle governments he disagrees with that have power (believe me Iran has power). You can say what you want about Ahmadinejad.....he is a politician and a military man and will treat others as such. I think Iran and N. Korea are and have been the bigger threats in the world for the past decade. Now they are proving it since the US is having so much trouble subjugating the Iraqi people. It will be interesting to see what happens in the next four or five years as these two "Axis of evil" members grow in political clout and military strength.

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.

Its entirely possible.\nIf the Iranian president continues to use Kruschev-like rhetoric then the west will prepare for the worst.\n\nThe Iranian president wants a confrontation.  He continues to make provocative and frightening statements.  With his boasts and threats he gives the west fewer and fewer channels of diplomacy.  Perhaps he believes he can succeed where Saddam failed.\nThe west will not be a Chamberlain.

Yes. \n\n  The Iranians have expressed, financed and conspired in hostile acts against use for 25 years.\n\n  When they get a nuke, they will use it on us.  \n\n  Only the stupidest people would allow a sworn enemy to openly build better weapons unmolested.\n\n  Incidently, the same is applicable to North Korea.

The whole MAD business.  If both sides start using nuclear weapons, the world has a good chance of ending.  So, no one actually uses them.  I'm guessing if Iran actually uses them, the US won't retaliate because no one wants to use nuclear weapons.

If they are smart enough NEVER...\nAs long as there is no proof of nuclear weapons being build,there is no reason for someone to attack Iran...

In 2001-2 government had been cherry-picking intel to present the best case for the invasion of Iraq.  If Bush is hell bent on invading Iran too, there's no reason to think they won't rely on the same tactics.\n\nAlthough now, with all the scandals rocking the White House these days, and with more people growing wise to the way Bush runs his administration, more people would be quick to question the decisions.  I doubt he could get away with it a 2nd time.

With every poll showing majorities of Americans both fed up with Bush's war against Iraq and convinced that Bush's invasion of Iraq has made Americans less safe, the White House moron proposes to start another war by attacking Iran. VP Cheney has already ordered the U.S. Strategic Command come up with plans to strike Iran with tactical nuclear weapons.Israel, which is loaded with nuclear weapons and is not a signatory to the nuclear pacts, is the accuser against Iran, asserting that Iran's nuclear energy program is just a veil behind which to produce weapons. Israel's Likud Party fears that Iranian weapons would be a check to its plans to complete the dispossession of the Palestinians and further expand Israel's borders.\n\nIran has signed the nonproliferation pact and is willing for the International Atomic Energy Agency to monitor the nuclear energy program.\n\nBush, however, dismisses all facts and assurances and is willing to attack Iran based on nothing but Israel's paranoia.\n\nBush can ignore the American public and the  the Democrats  have completely collapsed as an opposition party.

I don't see anything happening over Iran too soon.  Any US president would be insane to start a war with Iran and should be sent to a psychiatric facility immediately.  The EU and NATO definitely won't do anything to piss the Iranians off, Iran has missiles that are within range of their countries.  The UN doesnt have the balls to do anything either (plus you have Russia and China who'll oppose a lot on the Security Council).  Frankly, I think Israel is the only one who can be counted on to do anything at all--which in their case is going to be military action.  That, sadly, is going to drag us (the U.S.), if not Europe, in as well.

if GW goes after Iran he is an idiot, well needless to say he already is an idiot, but i've been hearing lately that Bush wants to nuke Iran, or rather as he says "all options are on the table" Bush is a retard, if he launches a nuke, we're screwed because then a whole bunch of people will attack the US
