The odds are zero.
All of the war talk is nothing but hype from the news media and the Democratic party. If you pay attention to what President Bush's policies regarding Iran you will see that he has consistently been using economic and diplomatic isolation as his primary tool against that nation.
This does not get media time because it is boring.

I wish Congress would worry more about
persons not getting government pay that was mislaid or
more like waylaid from the 80's and not replaced as promised, than starting yet another war on a country that needed help with land loss problems. There might be other reasons that involvement might be necessary, reasons
that we are not being given openly. Let us hope that is the case. I'd give it a 78% chance.

Iran will be out of oil around the year 2020. So, any relation between the price of oil and the probability of war with Iran is not reality. But, I am surprised at one thing. I didn't know the Wall Street Journal was published on Saturdays. I thought they only published on weekdays.

Two years ago I would have said DEFINITELY YES! But the current tone of the people would probably prohibit him from further military adventures in Iran. I think the other Arab governments in the area have had ample time to react to the US presence in the region and they would have set some limits on the US too. We are not at war with the entire Middle East, but we could be if we pushed things too far. I hope we get out of Iraq soon.

Yes, we will eventually go to war with Iran. But not without the support of the UN. And if he decides to send us into Iran alone, then it will be a quick operation. We will go in with our Air weapons and bomb the key opposistions, then with our tanks to take out thier armor. I dont think the infantry would be needed. The whole conflict may last about 3 months. Iran may seem strong but they are very week, very soft, and extreamly stupid.

The question should be why would the American public not support an attack against a country that has promised to use Nuclear weapons agianst its allies once they have them up and running.
