Attacking Iran

We are really headed for something truly dire if the drumbeats for war with Iran are not stopped. Take a look:

An attack on Iran would be catastrophic for America. The Shiite government of Iran and its army of close to one million would immediately go to the aid of the Shia in Iraq. That undoubtedly would lead to "helicopter from Embassy roof evacuation time".

Iran could use its missiles, courtesy of China and Russia, to hit our troops in Iraq and our carrier fleets already assembled in the Persian Gulf.

Syria could contribute its large stocks of chemical and biological weapons.

The flow of oil through the Strait of Hormuz could be cut off. Between 15 and 16.5 million barrels of oil transit the Strait each day, roughly 20 percent of the world's daily oil production. How would you like paying ten bucks a gallon for gasoline?

The US government would undoubtedly declare martial law and use anti-terrorist laws and military force against Americans who protest, predicts Eric Herter, former APTN producer. And that's only for starters. If Israel is hit, you can anticipate a nuclear response and that could be curtains for this planet.

You won't have to wait for the outcome of Global Warming.

What is so hard to understand about this stuff? Iran is not Iraq. The military response will be ever so much worse and, as the writer above states, it could end up being curtains for this planet.
