War Clouds Over Iran

An attack against Iran will be catostrophic for Iran, USA and for the rest of the world......Iran is quite a bit different than Iraq......It is far larger, in size and population.......It is has a more homogenous and united population......It has institutions in place........And it has a standing Army.......

.......The first thing Iran will do if it is bombed by the USA is to close the Straits of Hormuz.......It will target any ship, carrying oil, which has anything to do with the USA......This will raise the price of oil through the roof........It will, then, use its proxies in Iraq to massively increase attacks against the USA.......It will also use its Air Force to bomb US targets in Iraq............

In any case, an attack on Iran will be orders of magnitude bigger event, with much bigger consequences, for everyone, than an attack on Iraq...........Other than Israel, no country will support the USA.......It would be an extremely stupid thing to do............

Which is why I think that Bush and Cheney may actually go ahead and do it...........Or get the Israelis to do it...........
