I just can't understand why this leader of Iran can't understand that he is making enemies of EVERYONE! Does he think he can go it totaly alone?

When I was over there for the first gulf war they told us the proper name was the Arabian Gulf. Not the Persian Gulf.

he's a chopfcuk

He is a chopfuck, but as the article points out, the body of water has been called the Persian Gulf for the longest time. Calling it anything else is politically motivated...

Also inherent in this discussion is a longstanding dislike between those of Persians/Iranians and Arabs. Ever tried calling someone from Iran/Afghanistan/Pakistan an Arab?? They don't enjoy that at all because they are not ethnically related.

Absolutely. A lot of folks don't seem to understand ethnic differences.

Not by the US though. They're already massively committed in Iraq and Afghanistan. Bush won't get the money or the troops for another unilateral middle-east 'adventure'.

That's why the US is working with the UN on this one. They don't have much of a choice.

Yeah, Ahmedinijad can do and say pretty much what he pleases. The only nation that will be willing (and has the interest) to eliminate him is Israel.

if that should ever happen, then HELL will break out & all ARAB nations in conflict with Iran will support it, even IRAQ

i total agree..not only arab nations..allot of muslim nations...in the far east..central asia..etc..it be a clusterfuck

But what can Israel do? That nutjob already stated he wants to wipe them off of the map. If he gets a bomb he will use it. Should they just sit back and wait for the big one?

I see only a few choices. Do nothing and let Israel get one in the teeth,

Let Israel take them out and step in and help defend them,

Take them out first.

None of them are good choices. It is certain that diplomacy or sanctions won't work. I see WW3 here with not to many ways out of it.

Iran is difficult, because if that whole region goes up in smoke it could cause a world war that would drag in, China amongst others.

Not the outcome a lot of us would want I hope.
