Iran Crisis

What we need really are more women as head of state.

Not sure how much longer George has to go in his term, but sounds like he might be replaced by Hillary or Condalisa.

If only Islam was slightly more tolerant of women we could then envisage a Mrs. Iotolah of Iran. (I see a fatwah heading my way )

The girls could then meet up have a chat, swap makeup tips, and stop all this bloody lunancy.

Its clear women are the more stabilising influence. Look at the mahem us chaps get up to in this forum. If we had more women on the forum, and maybe Mrs.Tony R moderating, I am sure we would all be more relaxed.

It's the same media attack that was used so successfully to bamboozle the public over Iraq.The screw will be turned and turned until the public demands action and another moslem state will become the enemy-at-large.

Given,therefore,that some kind of conflict with Iran is inevitable,can I predict the following?

1. Nuclear Inspectors will try unsuccessfully to gain admission to the Nuclear Plants and decide that this means that Iran is developing weapons of mass distruction.
2. Atrocities carried out around the world that were previously not connected to Iran suddenly will be.
3.Terrorists will blow something up in either Europe or America and "Al Jazeirah" will claim to have a tape stating that the atrocity was in retaliation for the threats to Iran.
4.Tony Blair/The PM will align himself with Bush/USA Pres to maintain "world security"
5. Intelligence will link Iran with Osama Bin Laden and indeed they might be harbouring him.
6. Reports will detail that Iraq "Now has Nuclear Capability"
7. Iran will be attacked because "they might be about to blow us all up".Some kind of near miss will be reported,where but for intelligence a nuclear assault could have been attempted.
8. Some commentators will be shouted down for suggesting that a) Its all about Iran's oil and b) that there is no proof that Iran has nuclear weapons.
9.Iran will be crushed,hundreds of thousands of Iranian civilians will be killed,and a few thousand Allied troops (mainly Americans)
10. A relative of G.Bush will be linked to a firm overseeing oil production in Iran.
11. A commisiion will be set up that eventually discovers what everyone knew: there are no nuclear weapons in Iran and Osama Bin Laden is more than likely hiding in Pakistan/Kurdistan/Florida.
12. Someone on this forum will declare that he doesnt care how many Iranians are killed because so many American troops have lost their lives in the defence of their country.
13.MTS will be hounded off the forum ()

Seriously.

I like to think I bring a little ray of sunshine to the forum..  Perhaps I should change my user name to Grim Reaper..

For what it's worth we have been here before with the nuclear thing. The guy who wrote the article in my link is a professor of economics at the University of ottawa. What actually qualifies him as a military strategist I've no idea. I see it as no more than opinion, albeit a well argued and fairly frightening one.

Perhaps this is the build up to the next in the series of 'Resource Wars' ; the clamouring of the 'fittest' nations to secure the worlds dwindling fuel reserves, masquerading as some ill concieved fight between good and evil. One thing is for sure, anyone who thinks the 'cold war' is really over, must have slept through the 90's.

IMO...
