I wouldn't.
We won't be dealing with terrorists, IEDs, and a national military which essentially dissolves into thin air.
Iran has modern weapons systems.
Iran has a navy, which includes submarines.
Iran has missiles.
Iran has mines.
Iran can close off mid-east oil to the world by sinking a few ships and dropping an assload of mines, then inflict massive casualties to our forces while we try to re-open the gates.
The price of oil will skyrocket. Economies will collapse.
Then the
real fun begins. This time, there
would be a draft.
Bush has proven his ineptitude already. I can't
begin to imagine how bad it would get if he took us to war against
an organized military which fights back.
I realize that folks are a bit skeptical about all this, but the government of Iran has reacted to these resolutions in a way which should have all of you concerned.
They are referring to them as
war resolutions. They are making a show of getting ready militarily for an invasion.
This is
not good.
