area.

making the world less safe for everyone.

and between the wikileaks info and we can expect a civil war as soon
as US troop numbers drop enough.......

bush set the stage for WW3

You have a couple of seemingly valid points.

I submit, however, that Iran is moving toward making Iran less safe for
everyone in Iran, not the rest of the world.

If push comes to shove - say Iran blocks the Straits of Hormuz - the rest of
the world will turn on them in an instant with a vengeance of immeasurable
proportions. There might be a WW3, except it'll be most of the world against
Iran!

The result will be quick and decisive. Iran has to import food. The country
has to even import GASOLINE, for crying-out-loud. They have virtually NO
stockpiles of fuel (even the Japanese had over a year's supply of oil saved
up when they attacked Pearl Harbor).

The country is run by egomaniacs completely detached from reality and their
general staff got its military training out of G.I. Joe comic books.
