I remain completely unconvinced that anyone is going to war with Iran. The public in both the US and Britain will never swallow it. Wars are far too expensive in terms of life and finance and we already have two theatres on the go.
I can't remember the dates but isn't 2008 when George Bush's second term runs out? Does anyone seriously think that Iraq will be finished by then and that America will let him start another theatre as he leaves office?
The sabre-rattling against Korea has died down a bit recently hasn't it?
COULD BE LESS THAN TWO YEARS, according to some analysts.....
Mr Logic makes perfect sense, but below is a link to an important article in this week's Spectator magazine.
The whole thing is available on the link, but, in a nutshell, Douglas Davis argues that the Israelis are already considering the nuclear option to stop Iran from "mastering the fuel cycle" and producing nukes.
He suggests that: "within the next 12 months, the Americans or the Israelis, possibly both, are likely to launch military strikes aimed at crippling Iran's nuclear ambitions. Those strikes may come sooner, rather than later. And they will probably be nuclear".
All to do with the ability of neutron bombs, of which Israel has plenty, to bust even the bunkers that BLU-113s and their siblings cannot touch.
It's an interesting piece and well worth a read IMHO. It's quite long, which is why I haven't cut and pasted the whole thing here.
