Iran attack out of the question!

[oecher3]

Bush better not try to invade Iran, today German Chancellor Schroeder announced he will be speaking on the up-coming EU-US meeting with president Bush about backing up Iran, if they prove that the nuclear reactor they are building is for peaceful usage alone. Schroeder calls on the US to join a diplomatic approach and investigation in Iran as they have done in N.Korea. Sorry, I couldn't find a translation of the article, it was in German.

And than there was Putin's remark that Russia backs up Iran as well. Though this is to be viewed biased, since Russia supplies Iran with the part to build the reactor, including the fuel.

The BBC's Steve Rosenberg in Moscow says Russia has close ties with Iran, dating back to Soviet times, and it is determined to continue co-operation despite US opposition.

However, it seems like there is yet another coalition of the dissenting on the march, which would leave the US again with a grand coalition of the unwilling.

1. Changes the dynamic of the situation

now that Iran has an 800-lb gorilla *publicly* on their side.

Bush thought he could intimidate other world leaders into going along with him. Now no one wants to invite richboy fratbrat to the party. Boo fucking hoo.

2. I'm sure some drummed up crap with start the whole thing. Like

poor little Israel feeling threatened and attacks and we come to his aid. Or Iran flies an airplane into the Sears Tower. Airport videos will have the head high priest shown boarding the plane. Than we can claim "self-defense" and/or "terrorist attack".

3. I agree. One wrong move & this country could be fighting on the "wrong"

side of a potential next world war.

5. come to think of it

it sure looks like there is a new partnership on the horizont from Nato to EUto replacing the US with Russia and there is a new world power to be dealt with. Good point!

4. I Hope This Won't Turn Into

What I feel is a possibility to create a world war to usher in the New World Order of a one world government afterwards. For those of you who have studied the U.N. documents, CFR documents, Legislation Bills, and Executive Orders that I have; you know what concerns I am referring to.
