What now?

Ok, so the U.S. neo-con war-machine is puffing up its chest at Iran!

If the Bush administration is able to take the U.S. to war with Iran, I hope Iraq won't be the ONLY place where there is an all-out civil war!

Here's the thing, and it's IMPORTANT. The U.S. says to Iran, "you can't have nukes" and Iran says, "give us some assurances that you (the U.S.) won't invade" and the Bush administration says, "well, I'm sorry but we just can't make those kind of promises." So Iran says, "if you invade us, we'll nuke Israel" and the whole process starts over again.

I think to understand this you need to look at a much bigger picture than the average blinders-on media outlet.

Lets cover some givens:

After 911 the us invaded Afghanistan because the U.S. said that is where Al-Qaeda is based (but really it was because Haliburtion Corp. wanted to get a contract to put a natural gas pipeline across the entire country, but that's another story). So in the eyes of Iran, the U.S. has control of all the airports and cities in Afghanistan, as well as having a lot of military presence there.
Let's call that phase 1.

Suddenly the U.S. is tired of Saddam and his corrupt regime in Iraq, so there is a lot of who-ha and red tape and dancing around the truth, but in the end the U.S. invades Iraq. The U.S. now controls "most" of the country of Iraq.
Let's call that phase 2.

Dang, this is some complicated shit.

Let us review:
In the hearts and minds of Iran and it's leaders . . .
Afghanistan=U.S.
Iraq=U.S.

Geography lesson 101. See if you can guess what country is smack dab in the middle of Afghanistan and Iraq?

anyone?

You in the back there, what's your answer?

Why yes, you are correct, it's IRAN!

So, do you understand why one of the most oil-rich countries in the world suddenly thinks Nuclear power is a good idea?

Also, in the minds of most Middle Eastern Countries:
Israel=U.S. (I'll give more details on that later)

Look at the map so you can see what I'm talking about.
