Will the United States as the only super power left standing attack Iran or at least remove the threat of a nuclear Muslim state from the world by bombing their nuclear facilities? Well, the pressure is surely on to do so. Israel and the Middle Eastern countries are quite open in their requests. The rest of the world is sitting back assuming two postures while lending their own pleas undercover. Russia, China, North Korea and France are outwardly vehemently opposed to the United States attacking Iran. The rest of the world is holding to their silence. While behind the scenes ALL I am sure are begging us to go forward.An article in Time/CNN reports is informative reading on this subject. Time (as in minutes, hours, days) is of the essence as all know that after the November presidential elections President Bush will be unable to act, and if a Democrat is elected there is really not much hope of stopping Iran. There is also the fact that President Bush has General David Petraeus on board an in a position to oversee this operation. His being located next door in Iraq is precisely where American troops will be needed to put down any Iranian backlash.
Some analyst feel General Petraeus was in effect warning Congress and the world of possible attack in the near future when speaking before Congress this past Thursday. He was grilled by the Senators who are more favorably assured of a need for such an attack by answering their questions regarding the dangers to the area and to the world of an nuclear Iran. The General having at stake his appointment as the U.S. Central Commander answered the questions as truthfully as possible while still trying to assure the more timid Senators of his caution in using any kind of force in Iran.
I personally have little doubt that the time has come when the US will have to act finally because otherwise Iran will not be stopped. And the very real possibility that they are within weeks of having the capability of at least taking Israel out and threatening the other Middle Eastern States rather forces the Presidents hand. All other nuclear countries are held in check by a neighbor and/or their growing economic power that precludes their harming themselves by going to war. This simply is not the case with Iran.
I was saying as early as January 2006 that the US would eventually have to go to war, or at least a limited bombing war with Iran. Negotiations just would not stop[ them. And it seems I was correct in my thoughts. Negotiations and stalling by Iran as they continued their quest to join the World Nuclear Brotherhood is all we have seen accomplished by any country who stepped up to the plate to talk sense to them. Of course their membership will be a short one and last only until their leaders decide it is time to adhere to what they believe is Allah's command to wipe out the Infidel. It won't matter that they too will be annihilated since they will all enter Paradise as holy martyrs. Their leaders have openly stated their ultimate beliefs and goals for the destruction of the world, so why are we not believing them? Their action have been consistent with the goal of destroying the world, so why are we not believing them?
Apparently the Iranians, the other Middle Eastern Countries and Israel believe that only President Bush has the fortitude to act to stop these fanatics, so why are we not also backing the President and encouraging him to save the world from the Iranian's bid for leadership in the world of the hereafter?
