Next place?

[bigboy]

So what is everybodys thoughts about if we are going to move into Iran next? I can see it happening if something isn't done about this nuclear problem. What is everyone's thoughts about this.

[Deacon]

I can see it happening too, but that isn't gonna make America any more popular among the Arab world

[Nitrus]

Saudi Arabia before long.

I can assure you that saudia arab is not going to be the next place , it is maybe going to be my country. Pakistan because there are over 500+ million oil reservers near gwadar and costal areas + sui in balochistan.

Anyways, I'm sure our president(Musharraf) is going to withdraw and sell Pakistan as a state of US!

No one can trust politicans.

2 possible places are north korea, and iran . North korea would be more difficult to attack, but the european union is also against iranian nuclear policy.

I don't think we will be starting, anymore wars money is runing out fast. It takes to much money, to have wars even when they are small ones.

I seriously doubt the US administration has any plans to invaded Pakistan; their security forces just nailed a major terrorist responsible for several major bombings. They already have had a major attack on a Sunni worship service in Karachi; I doubt that President Musharraf is backing al Qaeda.

Iran is a serious contender for an attack; it's President Ahmadinejad is refusing to even consider negotiating the enriched uranium issue and, in light of his previous statements calling for the elimination of Israel and the US, as well as removing moderates from power in the Iranian government and replacing them with extremists -- creating an "Iranian Taliban, as it were -- the US and most of Europe is extremely concerned. Iran and Russia have a deal where Russia is supplying SS-16 missiles and Squall torpedos to Iran for oil. Iran has modified the missiles to burn solid fuel and carry nuclear warheads; the Squall is the most advanced torpedo in the world, with it Iran can control all shipping in the Persian Gulf. These are not the actions of a nation whose intentions are peaceful. I doubt that the US would invade Iran a la Iraq: that would solidify the Iranian people behind the current government, we don't have enough troops, and its size and terrain are against such an expedition. More likely, any military action would be air strikes against enrichment facilities; but even that would be against heavily defended sites and incur reprisals from Hezbollah, the terrorist organization that is essentially an arm of the Iranian government.

I don't think North Korea is a major priority for the US at this point in time. Granted that its "Exalted Leader" or whatever he insists on being called is insane. North Korea has been in meltdown for years now. Unless it attacks South Korea or Japan, I really don't see the US taking any kind of military action against it.

Its looking pretty certain that its going to be Iran. The drumbeat of another unwinnable war just keeps getting louder. The Bush administration is pulling out their old propaganda from the runup to the Iraq invasion, crossing out the 'q' and replacing it with an 'n', and a disturbing number of people are buying it, again, despite the fact that pretty much everything they said about Iraq turned out to be lies, distortion or complete fantasy.

More disturbing to me than the outright evil of the Bush administration is the fact that so many Americans are dumb enough to continue to believe them... How many wars do we have to start based on lies before Bush's base wakes up and realizes that the man has a few 'issues' with telling the truth?

Going to Iran would make things even worse. More pain on both sides.
If there is another war, it will only strengthen the fundamentalists.
A better way would be to send education to the people in Iran. Then they will make a revolution against their leaders, because they will see whats wrong with their country.

But the big question is going that route, can it be accomplished before they nuke Israel?

[Hendrik]

rodeojones903 your point is so stupid.
If there is a 0.0001% chance that your neighbour will kill you when he is drunk, do you kill him first to be safe?
