I have few questions?
Can USA afford to go to war with IRAN.
And I dont mean millitary wise (of course military wise they can), but I mean politically, after, the IRAQ war, can any US president ask for another war.
I think politically, USA have few more years, probably something around 10 to enter another, not so justified war
"Bush doesn't believe their intention"... I don't think what Bush think is good enough reason ... no now, it was good enough for a FIRST war.
The problem also, is, USA may need to go to war against Syria, and Egypt, later in life. Moral here is, as long as there is an israel and no real palestine, USA will have to fight many wars in the Middle East, and after they finish Egypt they may need to go back to iraq or iran, again, who knows ...
I am not sure of Iran intentions, I am sure the guys there, know they cant afford a real war versus USA.
First theory: this could all be an act, for some reason or another, ... in this case I would be fearing what USA want (sorry for the conpiracy theory, but when a country like Iran pick on USA, something is fishy, USA can crush iran overnight)
Second theory: no deals, iran want more power, iran know usa can't afford a war against it, at least for several more years, during which it can aquire the power it needs
USA can ignore Syria, for now and focus its pressure on Iran, which it seems, is what they are doing, too bad for lebanon, they were counting, on fininshing off syria, ..... this might have to wait for a while
By ignoring syria, and focusing on iran, you are ignoring egypt, and believe it or not, egypt is israel biggest threat, and the whole reason for those wars in the middle east, is to create a environment, where an israel can grow
Ultimatly, I think USA is in a tuff situation, the only way out, the good way out, is, declare a palestine, support real democracies in syria and egypt, .... let iran get the little more power it wants, ... balance the powers by supporting iraq, syria and egypt, i.e. put egypt vs iran, not israel vs iran, israel vs iran, means israel vs iran + iraq + syrian + egypt, which started this whole mess in the first place
even though i am a muslim, i dont really care for jerusalem, but if giving jerusalem to the muslims, will help stabilize, this area, then israel and usa, please swallow ur pride, be the bigger guy, and give jerusalem to the muslims!
I dont care for jerusalem, because i dont believe that any land is worth that much pain. beliefs, principals, sure .... but land !!! Anyway ....
this i think the only scenario where israel can be left alone, in peace ....
israel should not be too ambitious, because its obvious, USA cannot afford so many wars! Iran is proving it
