    That’s true and I do have a lot more faith that this President will do what’s right; however, I hear a lot of saber rattling going on about Iran these days and it’s very scary!

    I’m with Radish on this one. It still feels like policy is being set by Cheney

    It is Israel who already has the nukes, and their “supporters” here most inclined toward an insane risk on Iran. No, Obama does NOT HAVE a Cheney, Wolfowitz, Feith, Perle group behind his decisions, so maybe a little sanity will hold out for a change. Every time I hear the “pro war” folks yak, I think of deserters and chickenhawks, and remember vividly the experience of “short rounds”, and friendly fire. Anyone who’s been very, very, close to “Willy Peter” going off from our OWN guns, or seen friends killed en mass, by “friendly fire”, realizes that our constant rush to war, is STUPID!!

    It is past time to stop looking for wars, especially in defense of those who have NOT signed the “non proliferation” treaty because they have NO INTENT OF COMPLYING.

    From far away it seems that you are all thinking to complicated. You have the Hirsch-plan.And you have no petrol anywhere close enough to be comfortable in the U.S.

    As you do not tend to try different things first (you never did), there will be war in Iran. Full Stop.

    The last phrase is my own analysis put into few words, not something that I have to read about, nowadays. I am sorry to have done it. Still, as you are turning around yourself and appear to be unwilling to grasp the world as it is, sometimes we have to remind you: The U.S. are not ruling the world, nor can your President be held responsible for evolution and exhaustion of natural ressources. Face it. I will pity you later.

    The Democrats and liberals would go for it because it was their idea instead of those stupid head Republicans who invaded Iraq.

    We have 11 active carrier groups, no other nation has more than one, speaking of measuring jock size over brain size.

    “What will Obama do when Iran shuts down the Straight Of Hormuz?”

    Unleash the US Navy, just like any other POTUS.

    You still need patrol. You have Hirsh and the Carter-doctrine. What a dumb comedy.

    There will be war in Iran. As we say for five or six years. Nothing has changed. And all the force is going to make the war possible in no matter which way.

    It will not mean the ultimate access to the remaining petrol, but it is on the agenda. God help us all.
