If you think Bush's sudden "diplomacy" has arrived because he learned something, you're kidding yourself. The military brass has more power in this country than some realize, and they know that fighting Iran would be stupid... that's why they'll letting Israel start the Iran war.

That being said, if we do let Israel pull us into a war with Iran right now, we would need a full military draft to even attempt to control the ground.

I know, people who watch Fox will say, 'we don't need ground troops in Iran, we'll just bomb them back to the stone age'. That's also what the stupid people said when we started bombing Vietnam. It doesn't work that way against a country with solid air defenses, especially ones with difficult topography, and Iran has both. Ask any militart commander, you need ground support.






Civil disorder. Which would no doubt be out of control if this administration got us into two more major wars. I know you're young, but watch some documentaries about America during the Vietnam war. We need troops at home to kill dissidents.
