The Iranians and Saudi's, lead nations for the two main Muslim sects (Shia and Sunni, respectively) have been feuding for years.

I know that, but the US is talking about some sort of action against Iran, more than likely sanctions.. BUT.. if you can start another war to fund the machine even better... ugh...

Bad choice to try and do it on US soil.. too many politicians will jump on this.. Ever notice Iran is sitting directly between Iraq and Afghanistan? Makes you wonder...

I think the WW3 thoughts are a bit extreme here. Kinda pot calling the kettle black really although I am sure that whatever gets done will be spun against our Kenyan socialist president regardless.

I'm not saying WW3, but I've been wondering how long it's gonna take until the fools that run this once great nation will wait before they do hit Iran. It's like we've been sitting there waiting for the perfect reason for quite a while. This may not be the reason they want, but it's only a matter of time before we make that stupid move...

Yeah, I was reading somewhere that Iran offered to buy their uranium from us and not make their own too but like you say I am sure we will do something real stupid instead.

If Iran gets hit, it'll be by our 51st state (Israel), allowing us to retain plausible deniability without worrying about Israel's standing in the world going any lower (it can't).

I remember that.. and couldn't believe we'd even entertain the idea of a 10th of a second..

I'd like to see Israel snap and "take away" Iran's ability to develop anything to make war with. (or cheap electricity for that matter)

I'd like to the young people of Iran snap and embrace the Arab spring.

Wake up Iran!
