Ahmadinejad is NOT going to launch some kind of attack.

If it's claimed that Iran has struck first you can be sure it is a set-up. I can't believe some of you are buying into all the propaganda and hype to yet ANOTHER war. Iraq is going that well that we need to try again?

Listen, I keep seeing these sort of threads where someone mentions Irans military, current weapons, or soon to be purchased weapons, then come the inveitable responses:

"We'll annihilate them." "They'll be a smoking crater." "Iran with be destroyed in seconds." "We'll blow them to dust."

Most of you have severely underestimated President Ahmadinejad's intelligence, if you actually think you know something more about the current conflict, Iranian military preparedness and potential wars in regards to the middle-east and the players therein. The media has done well in painting him as a cross-eyed ninny it seems.

In 1976, (Ahmadinejad) took Iran's national university entrance exams (konkoor) to gain admission into Iran's top universities. His test score ranked him 132nd among over 400,000 participants that year, landing him at the Iran University of Science and Technology (IUST) as an undergraduate student of civil engineering.

After the Iranian Revolution, he entered the Master of Science program for civil engineering in 1984. In 1989, he became a member of the Science faculty at the university where he had studied. In 1997, he received his Ph.D. in transportation engineering and planning from the Science and Technology University.

Does he sound like a blathering idiot to you? Do you honestly think he cannot comprehend the limitations of his own country? I don't even think many of those gloating even have equivalent credentials.

Let me state it again, because some of you love to hear it... If Iran is ever attacked by the United States and/or Israel...and no one intervenes...Iran can potentially be destroyed. It does not stand a chance. This is obvious to anyone with half a brain.

Guess what though folks? That doesn't make me feel warm and fuzzy. It doesn't make me want to fluff up my pillow and sleep soundly with a huge smile. I take no pleasure in the possible destruction of a country that has not harmed me, has not concretely expressed any intent to harm me, has not invaded another country to force it's own agenda on it's citizens, and...as you all love to point out...cannot adequately defend itself.

Iran is trying it's best to appear "defensively" strong to it's citizens who by now are probably in a stressful panic over what could be the imminent loss of their families and friends. What else would you have a country that is facing an approaching battle against two powerful forces tell it's people?

Of course it's all posturing. It's all to let the people know that Iran will defend itself. "Defend"...thats the key word there.

This whole thing is beyond sad in my mind...but keep gloating if it makes you feel better. The fact remains that If we attack Iran, their military will be the least of our problems. This whole endeavor to destroy Iran I fear will result in a world war that will devastate the United States and it's already shaky economy. This would essentially be the jump start to apocalypse.

Most of you are not looking at the bigger picture because you can't see over the huge gun barrel America has in its hand.

History has shown that great empires fall.
Often it's on the sword of it's own hubris.
