I don't know why someone didn't ask this question sooner...

Firstly, I don't think it will be the US will be the one that attacks Iran first. However, Israel is possibly going to buy the F22 Raptor soon from the US - which has been described as the missing piece in Israel's massive arsenal needed to strike Iran (to get pass Iran's Russian-supplied Tor radar systems).

But just look at how the Iranian news is painting this -
www.presstv.com...

The Iranians, it would seem, are dead-set ready for conflict.

What will happen to the US? I don't know, if anything. I don't think Bush's stupidity can be extended to an incursion into Iran - it defies all logic. America is teetering on recession, oil prices have quadrupled since the IRAQ invasion, I can't see any specter of the US leading another charge into a Middle Eastern country.

Unless the Israeli lobby gets its way, in which case it doesn't really matter who the President is.

Israel - known to have 200 or so deliverable nuke warheads, not a signatory of the non-proliferation treaty, has never and will never let in UN weapons inspectors

Iran - no deliverable nuke warheads, IS a signatory of the NPT and has let in UN inspectors

You figure it out, because I certainly can't

I think there's 2 scenario's

1. Bush authorizes and helps Israel launch airstrikes

2. Mccain is handed the election, regardless of the popoular vote, and he moves on Iran, with Israel's backing.


- Both will result in mass amounts of suicide/car bombings in Israel and Iraq.
- Rockets and mortars will rain down on Israeli cities, and Iraqi bases
- Missiles will be launched from Iran, at Israel and the IRAQI american bases
- I fully believe that there are terrorists in America/England/Australia. Muslims/Persians/Sudanese/South Africans/Somalians that have been sent here with instructions to cause chaos if war breaks out.
5 Sudanese picking up automatic weapons and hand guns walking through a popular cafe strip shooting people down until killed themselves, would cause mass panic/chaos. Couple this with home made bombs.

In the event that domestic deaths are reported, the US government, no matter who in charge will display this as an act of terrorism, not an act of retaliation in war. Low Yield nuclear weapons will be authorised.

China and Russia will send mass amounts of ARMS and intellegence to Iran/Syria, Neither will publically admit it, and Neither will openly declare against the USA, just like the USA did with the Afghani's.

The World will condemn the USA for its actions, and start limiting OIL exports, in an attempt to 'sanction' the US economy.
This will force the US economy, and more IMPORTANTLY the housing market to collapse, meaning there's ample amounts of young, fit men/women willing to fight to keep their homes and food on the tables.

Thus, no DRAFT!

In the end, Israel will be forced to USE nuclear arms on its borders, to stop any nation coming.
The USA will be forced to use nuclear weapons on Iran, sacrificing Iraq but ensuring the Kurdish oilfields remain.
The USA Will drown itself in debt to the chinese, who will take taiwann while the USA is occupied.
Russia will force its will over eastern european states again, and Israel will be pushed into the ocean, many though, will be forced to fight by the government before that happens.

Dark years ahead.

I know I don't always agree with what you say, but wow! You said a lot and makes a lot of since. However, you seem to say Israel and Iraq alot about getting bombed and leaving Iran out completely like they won't get touched. I think they will get hurt yes.

However, I'm wondering if we here in the US will get hurt as well? Could Russian or even China actually try and strike us?

Except I believe Obama will get the election and ....thats another story.

Anyone who thinks the Miltary Industrial Complex cares about whether we can afford another war is in denial. They care about their profits, their power, their continued growth of dominance and control.

We are currently in a state of affairs where some of the war corporations dominate the schoolyard, and could not care less about the effect upon other corporations.

They have absolutely no regard for the puny individuals. The more they wipe out, the higher the percentage of what remains they control. They can always grow more peasants. Hell there is never a shortage of cannon fodder, as long as you keep shrinking the economy around the peasants and whispering dark rumors of malignant enemys.

The truth of war is that it is the most profitable economy for industrialist, the least profitable for the individual. As a general rule those members of society who are well off do not go to war. Those who are less well off have little choice.

There will be war on a grand scale. The new toys have been tested. But the real profits come from mass production, deployment, and the dispensing of product. Oh how grand it will be to once again dispense product across the face of the planet in a frenzy of passionate distribution.

What must happen is that the world is pulled into WWIII. And you must want to fight. You must want to kill. It is what all the religions have been designed for. They all interlock into a grand battle for dominanance which has not been allowed to conclude in thousands of years of war.

I promise you that if there is ever One World, only a very small self agrandizing group will be allowed to live in it. Invitation Only, and you are not on the list my friend.

Most of the world will quickly be wiped out by pandemics which have already been set on the stage. We are no exception in the US.

In grand scale warfare, disease and starvation kill more than the weapons.

The draft boards will no more discriminate because you are an illegal alien than the voting proceedures do. That is why it is especially important to get out the illegal alien vote. Do not forget to register to vote! This is an important year for the people. We must get out the youth vote!
Why do you think the media keeps telling everyone that there are not safeguards to prevent illegal aliens from voting?

All Muslims will be rounded up and sent to detention centers. Those of proper age will probably have the option to join the military and prove their loyalty to the US. The rest can work in war production to pay their way, there is no room for freeloaders, everything for the war effort!
You do want to prove your loyalty, don't you?

Of course everything will be rationed. Everything will be needed for the war effort. No one will question the burning of coal for fuel once the oil fields are all burning in the middle east. Any fuel source will be welcome when survival is on the line.

Environmentalism will be a lost concept. There are no environmentalists on napalm bombardments. Every nation will try to defend what resources it has available. To run out of resources is to be overrun.

Of course the major players could just start throwing Neutron Bombs at some point and clear off major sections of the board. Neutron bombs residual radiation has a half life of 12.5 years.

www.answerbag.com...

The neutron bomb concept was tested successfully in the late 1950s and early 1960s. The US constructed about 1000 neutron weapons during the Reagan administration. Other countries known to possess such weapons include: territories within the former USSR, China, Israel, and South Africa. It is likely that any military nuclear power with access to bomb-grade plutonium has developed these weapons at some time. South Africa has claimed their weapons were dismantled.


The Russians developed grapefruit sized fusion neutron bombs. They are undetectable and known to be out in the wild.

www.geocities.com...

With even a weak nuclear reactor Iran could irradiate Red Mercury and manufacture their own neutron bombs.

According to Wikipedia most nations have dismanteld their stockpiles of neutron bombs. I wonder how long it takes to put one back together?

If you follow the links you will see that Nuclear war does not need to result in the total destruction of the planet. The tactical Neutron bombs can play a major role with no longterm damage to the planet.
