if it is attacked (as Sarah BS suggests) , then the obvious safest course of action for the rest of the world is a massive pre-emptive strike on Israel, not Iran. That is common sense.

Jonathan... I believe you have become the RESIDENT CLOWN. Your jealousy and hate towards the intelligence of Sarah B seems to cripple you. Get a life darling whilst you can, 'cause you and your tribe are on your way out`. Tatty bye!

To overcome these sanctions as they had remained certain the next line of action was forthcoming.Their trade relationship with certain countries will increase manifold and the Iranians will have further incentives to diversify and thus become more immune to these sanctions.No sweat.

Iran is the victim of Ahmadinejads insanity.. Mahmood woud it surprise you to learn that Iran is currently SPENDING over 45% of its GDP on arms the military and on nuclear weapons development quite apart from the mind numbing sums that are being squandered on propping up Hezbollah and Hamas and the milking of Irans oil wealth by unprecedented corruption Yet the MAJORITY of Iranians are still living in poverty What Iranians are suffering is the direct result of Ahmadinejads insanity Just as an aside Mahmood...we clearly both belong to opposite sides of a very serious issue....Yet I find that when Muslims and Jews take the trouble to get together and understand each other as our group in the UK do regularly and so successfully - we begin see so much that unites us and so much that we have in common and so little that divides. I do hope that soon when enough people on both sides come to their senses we can all march together in London to demand with one voice a resolution to the Palestine Israel conflict

BEFORE DOING THAT DESICION IT WOULD BE SMART IF THE PRESENT USA-ADMINISTRATION FIRST WOULD HAVE CONSULTED THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF THE UNITED NATIONS ORGANIZATION AND THE ENTIRE UNITED NATIONS ORGANIZATION. IN PRINCIPLE IRAN IS AN INDEPENDENT AND SOVEREIGN COUNTRY LIKE EVERY COUNTRY/PEOPLE.

With posts like that it sure is getting super deep in here. You sound like Bagdad Bob and are just as credible.

Wow....perhaps they can impress us by launching TWO toy monkies on a rocket next time.

The subject when you hear about the actual launch..................don't shy away.
