Why Iran will lead to World War 3

Only the ignorant think the US is going to attack Iran or Syria. Its jsut something america-haters love to rant about even though they have no real knowledge of the US. Iran is an EU problem. Notice the EU is doing the negotiating, not the US. And in a war, Israel could beat the crap out of Iran without using any nukes.

"The American people will not stand for another war" - Bill Clinton

Iraq did not have a coherent army after we destroyed their infastructure fromt he sky.  We lost very few soldiers during the actualy "war".  We lost 90% of our casualties to people who aren't even Iraqi!

i think if there will be a WW III  then it must has something to do with Oil and therefore something to do with Middle east

and that can be guessed in many ways such as the US want to get more control over the middle east (which whats happening) and most of the Powers in the world are not that happy about that (wonder why?) and that all to do with Oil and money, and plus oil there is Isael which is not benifiting the US in anyway execpt making No stability in the Middle east and continues struggle from both sides.

that is one of the US's mistakes focusing too much in the middle east and forgetting about China rising. plus aling with India for possible Chinese wake up wont help much that india needs help by itself to control its population and its economy.

Actually some people think that the whole reason we went to Iraq was to prevent China from buying it in the future because they are going to need to import more then 50% of oil I think it was said in 2007, don't quote me on that I can't remember the exact number. Anyways a military moves on oil and if you take that away from a enemy you get an upper hand. If this is true then it strategically thinking ahead for the future.

And enough about us needing oil because we don't. We have two allies that we buy off of that are in the top 10 countries that produce oil, Kuwait and Saudi Arabia. North America also produces alot of oil only that the US sells its oil to Japan for a higher price and buys from the Mid.East. We honestly don't need oil or crave it, but if its true about controlling it from China getting it then the US is thinking about the future and not right now. Heres a graph of oil production from 2004 I found for you guys.

How come the US always has to be the one to point things out, I wish my government would quit doing that.... Anyways theres some more news on the whole Iran situation I thought you might like to read.

Most governments take care of their own interests first (and those of the ruling elite) and the interests of the rest of the governed second, especially as those interests relate to the interests of the government.

What makes you think the mullahs give a rat's ass about the people?

OK; maybe I read too much into your post.

The development of nuclear capability that can be turned to armaments will do nothing but make Iran a target of military power far, far more powerful and sophisticated than theirs.  They can be as defiant as they want...it will not change anything.

There is NO WAY Israel will not respond to this development.  There is a great possibility the U.S. will respond to this development.  I do not think Russia will be unconcerned, and they may respond forcefully to this development.

Perhaps we are dealing with "brinksmanship" here with an eventual backdown from the abyss, but the Iranian mullahs, and their governmental puppets are playing a dangerous game with this stuff, and they do not seem to understand the discrepancy in strategic capability that they may face.  Oh, well......their problem.

For a similar reason that Greece does not export oil.

Try doing without it.

I agree...as oil consumption increases, nuclear generation becomes more attractive.  Three Mile Island, and Chernobyl are becoming victims of that 'cultural amnesia' that afflicts us all.

It is pointless to argue the merits of "alternative" energy sources.  The reality is what it is......we continue to exist in the oil age, and all the ramificationas of that will have to be dealt with somehow.

A great concern is that those who think they can exert control over this commodity by some degree of military capability (Iran) will force a confrontation that may be far more devastating to their own interests than it will be to those of others......Take that for what you will; the West, and the increasingly industrialized East will have what they require, and, if conflict arises, the majority of the real price for that will be paid for by someone else.

And what is that supposed to do? Bush is already pushing for digging in Alaska just to get people off our back about the US trying to take the middle east for oil.

Make produce alot of oil, but we buy it from the Mid.East and sell ours to other countries to make a profit. We buy our oil from Saudi Arabia who sells it to us for a good price and we don't have to worry about them running out of oil. The US has plenty of oil, its going to be China from what I understand thats going to be desperate.

I really do believe we didn't need this war at all. We did make some Iraqi's happy, but there was and is to much blood shed for something that wasn't even apart of the objective and that was to prvent Terrorist from having a safe haven to train in. The only way I can think of for the purpose of this war was to get our presence in Iraq to prevent China from being supplied oil. Using the war on terror to justify this action I think was just a cloak for the larger strategy and was planning ahead, but honestly I don't know the truth, but I do know we really aren't having oil problems.
