Ah, the subtle dance.
Unfortunately, we’ll be in a full scale war with Iran faster than you can say “Allah humus sandwiches.”
My guess is the decision has already been made. We are always the last to know such things, but mark my words. By Christmas we will have taken some military action against Iran. Maybe it is the right thing to do. We do have a much better handle on their WMDs. They’re certainly a lot farther along than Iraq was even accused of being.
The funny thing is we live in a nation that claims to be religiously independent and yet most of our major decisions are made based on the faith of our leaders. I love a good bagel and some matzo soup, but if left to stand on their own, Israel is up lokshen creek without a paddle.
So why do we get involved in these things? Most countries in the middle east are nowhere near developing any technology that will threaten the U.S. Besides, is anyone naive enough these days to think our enemies would attack from a foreign shore? That’s so 1997. If a nuke goes off here, it will likely be a dirty bomb planted by someone right here at home.
What a nation like Iran can do with nuclear weapons and would no doubt love to do is wipe Israel off he face of the earth. The problem is I doubt very seriously we are coming to Israel’s defense out of the kindness of our hearts. I wouldn’t even begin to unravel the mystery of why our leaders seem hell bent of standing by Israel. The truth is the Israelis haven’t exactly been the best neighbors lately. Something tells me our military marching into Iran isn’t exactly going to improve relations between the Muslim world and the rest of us.
No really, I can’t back that up.
