Wow! Lots of very well written thought out posts above from both sides. We are only in the dawn of the new century and I think all above can see “The Century of Energy Wars” as this centuries motif. I personally think that no matter who comes into office that we are going to be in a big one within a few years anyways so the only decision we truly have to make now is based on…how many people do I want to lose?
If we go now, testicles to the wall, all out against Pakistan, Saudia Arabia, Iran, Syria with limited theatre yeild strikes neutralizing Pakistans arsenal as quickly as possible then all
center of gravities of military power within the other above mentioned countries thru any retaliation we would lose possibly a division or two within a few days then not much more.
if we wait until all the forces are arrayed against us by giving them time to coordinate
a well planned attack on the homeland we could potentially lose hundreds of thousands. So go early..go hard, expect loses but not as many as if we wait till its to late. It would help if we had reached a secret agreement with China and Russia beforehand that we split all their oil, then send them back to the 7th century where they seem to want to be anyways. Once the world is free from Moslem interference it will definitely be a better place for all those who remain.
