Are they going to attack Iran before Democratic Party takes over. Iran wants it too for their own reasons?

Question

They are counting on that ordinary man on streets of Middle East will rise against the USA and its Freinds in Middle East.What is your Opinion?

I think the two main players in Bush Cabinet Sec.Rice and VP Chenni do not like What Sec.Baker is telling them.

Answer 1

The ordinary man on the streets in the middle East is praying that the West, which basically means the US will stop trying to meddle in the region, and let them get on with an ordinary life. Do you honestly think that taking out another country within the region, further de-stabilising the region will actually solve anything?

Answer 2

At this point the US can not afford to start a new war which will give way to terrorist actions in all of Middle-East.
Strategically, the US does not have enough soldiers in reserve to start a war with Iran, keeping in mind that they have to keep in reserve enough troops to repulse a war scenario where they are attacked by another state.

Also the public opinion is against another adventure.

Off course this counts only as long Iran does not do very stupid things like using nuclear power against Israel, ...

Answer 3

Well, according to the Iran news today....

President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said the country's scientists had completed the nuclear fuel cycle and the country is a nuclear power. In a speech Wednesday in the western city of Javanroud, the president sounded a defiant message to countries opposed to Iran's nuclear development. "Iranian young scientists reached the zenith of science and technology and gained access to the nuclear fuel cycle without the help of big powers,"
Dec 20, 2006, 14:47
Concluding his speech Wednesday, Ahmadinejad said there was no stopping now.
"The Iranian nation will continue in its nuclear path powerfully and will celebrate a nuclear victory soon," he said.

Someone had better think of something ,then again lets let the Dems' handle it...

Answer 4

The democrats are already in control of house and senate. We will fight Iran much as we do now in engaging in wars in other nations. Just like the Russians during the cold war. We will not attack a country who we suspect has nuclear capabilities or at least access to N Korea's.

Answer 5

Bush is still President & comander in chief for the next 2 years. Iran might be much closer to having nukes than some people seem to think. I hope we take them out soon. Better a year early than 1 minute too late.

Answer 6

Keeping Iran from getting the bomb is in everyone's best interest, even democrats. Besides, its Bush who would make the decision to bomb and not congress. Or rather he could do it without their consent by simply restating what he did when he got us into Iraq.

Answer 7

No. There is no reason to. Iran is at least 5 years away from having enough uranium to make a bomb, maybe 10 years.

Answer 8

That would certainly secure Amadinejads nationalistic agenda.

I would like to think that there's a more clever way to handle your enemies. Talk to them like they are your friends, and then undermine them covertly. Bush's famous "axis of evil" speach merely emboldened and elevated our enemies.

Answer 9

There is no way the U.S. will attack Iran. Unless Iran does something really, really stupid, like attack Israel first.

Answer 10

Democrats run, they don't attack.
Although Democrats, after 2 years of trying to cause us to lose, are now talking about wanting to win in Iraq.
Can we trust them?
Is it another Democrat trick?
No one knows.
