While there is some chance of stabilizing the situation early in the sequence of escalating events, this would require the concerted efforts of responsible US, Iranian, and international governing authorities, provided Bush can be persuaded to halt the attacks, the Iranians to limit their response to within their borders, and the rest of the world's governments and populace to respond with sufficient restraint. But history gives small comfort about such a turn of events involving nations with irresponsible leadership and substantial resources.

Sounds very plausible.

I think that scenario sounds like a reasonable possibility...which poses the question: What the hell is wrong with Russia and China? They want to help the U.S. start a war with their supposed ally, Iran?

Are they really stupid enough to think that Bush et al. are acting in good faith wrt Iran?

Combine the sanctions with

Admiral William Fallon resigning today. And Cheney's trip to the Middle East tells me Fallon wasn't happy with the game plan. Fallon seen the writing on the wall and probably said "not under my watch." It is a maniacal plan to further U S hegemony in the Middle East i.e. war with Iran. Perhaps Cheney's trip there is to grease the skids for war? He's certainly not over there because of the contaminated water our soldiers are drinking and bathing in. That is for dam sure!

This wretched old bastard could give a rat's ass about the troops!

These war mongers want total dominance at any cost. Fallon said see ya later.

New UN Sanctions = New UN WARS

Sanctions are WAR. When you say "New UN Sanctions", you are saying NEW UN WAR. The "Bush Administration", pandering to the UN, not the US congress, which gave Bush Administration the route for UN WAR, "sending" Bush to the UN for a UN Resolution 1441, for a "UN Coalation of the willing", to break with all international laws, for a NEW WORLD ORDER, where the ELITES, MULTINATIONAL ELITES (who find Americans no better than Mexicans or Iraqis or Palestinians) are controlling the UN, a global organization that has been taken over by the multinational elites, who are now destroying constitutions and borders, collectively capturing global resources armed with plans of massive genocide because the planet earth can only sustain 50 million people. UN Agenda 21. By the year 2021. How will the global elites, the 50 million above international laws, to who the UN works to protect for it's WARS, eliminate billions of people for the life if the planet? UN Sanctions. Blaming Bush isn't right.
