1. Hope for the best, prepare for the worst.

2. Cool heads will prevail.
Persian CAT   (09.07.07)
There is still enough smarts left in the policy making circles in Israel to make sure that it will not appear as the spoiler. Israel did torpedo Iran's attempts to start a working relationship with the US in 2003. But that was a different time. The neo-con cabal of mostly Jewish militarist and and Likudniks had infested the American admisnistration, people like Richard Perle, Douglas Feith, Scooter Liby and an army of Zionist Jihadis in the media like the National Review and the Weekly Standard talking heads. These people destroyed American standing in the world and caused death of numerous American and Iraqi people, not to mention the wasting of American tax payers money in a futile war. Israel WILL NOT make the same mistake again because the American people are watching with open eyes this time. In a survey published in the Foreign Policy mag this month Israel was right after Saudi Arabia (14% and 17% respectively) as a country least favorable for the US national interests! Go figure.
3. SEE NOW WHAT IRAQ WAS HAS BROUGHT ON US ?

Stupid neocon republican.
4. Bush Statements justify a pre-emtive strike on US assets
AntiWar ,   Planet Earth   (09.08.07)
Iran would be fully justified in a pre-emptive strike upon US assets in the region given the repeated threats made by the President. Because of the threat of impending attack by GW Bush, the Iranians would also be justified in supplying arms to those currently fighting against US assets in the region as it reduces the ability of the US to threaten other nations in the region, I wish the removal of the blundering buffoon playing the role of a US president was leaving office tomorrow, but all the world can do is pray that doesn't start a new world war before he goes.

you are dreaming. as much as you wish a rift between israel and the usa, we, the jews are way to strong a constituency to be ignored. by the way, didn't you know that mossad advised against the ira war and told bush not to do it? they said iran is the one ot concentrate on, not iraq. byt bush didn't listen. israel and the usa are tied hand in hand by values, morals, democratic ideology, humanity, etc.....to part ways. israel has a big affinity for america and it is mutually reciprocated. so, divisivness will not happen because israel is the only democracy and stable country in the middle east! as to the allegation that american tax dollars are going to finance israel's military. it's pure garbage and not true. nothing is given to israel for free. all the millions and billions are given to israel by the usa banks at a soft interest rate. these are called soft loans...WHICH HAVE TO BE PAYED BACK BY ISRAEL AND ISRAEL IS CONSTANTLY PAYING THEM BACK! nothing, not a single penny comes out of any tax dollars or salaries and income americans make. not a penny. israel keeps getting these soft loans as needed from usa banks and a low interest rate. since they constantly pay them back and NEVER DEFAULTED ON ANY LOAN, no american is ever burdened by this expenditure. only if israel defaulted on its loans from the usa, will the tax payer in the states be affected, and this didn't yet happen and never will because israeli economy is fantastic! the biggest economical growth has just occured the past year!!!! also, israel is very very technologically, militaristically, intelligence and research into armaments involved with the usa. usa benefits greatly from israeli technology. by the way, your computer chip and cell phone and instant messag, etc... was developed by israeli scientists. persian cat, what has iran or for that matter any muslim country ever invented....sorry, yes, terrorism! and the religion of peace, of course! so, before you talk, research so that you don't sound completely clueless and embarass yourself. aint going to happen buddy. we are tied at the heart and will forever be so! can't wait for the oil to dry up...what? iran has 20 years left? good. now tell me, where will all these muslim and arab states be if the oil dries up? because, sure as hell, they never progressed beyond the primary centuries..say, like the 12th? relying on oil is their biggest mistake since it will be only a temporary comfort. americans and europeans are as we speak very busy building cars that run on batteries. what are you going to do then, persian cat?
