Kabud – global energy supply desruption will mean starvation to millions of 3rd world countries people, you mean THIS IS NOT OUR VITAL INTEREST?
shame on you cedarford

Well, wouldn’t it be wonderful if millions of 3rd Worlders think they are going to die if Iran gets nukes, that they all join up in a coalition and provide substantial numbers of troops?
Because they failed to come through and only a few of the Euros provided significant, but very small numbers of forces for Afghanistan and Iraq. The US bore 95% of the casualties and nearly the same amount as a percentage of costs….and there is no way the American public will get the US in a 3rd War where only we sacrifice, out of some sense of noblisse oblige to a pack of singularly ungrateful 3rd Worlders, Euros, Commie or quasi-commie countries, and of course the “vast peaceful lands of Islam.”

That is, if Iran doesn’t attack.

But if we start it without a legitimate casus belli – a 2nd “preventative” ME War – and it isn’t in our direct vital interests, our NATO and Asian Treaty allies, and go in alone – there will be hell to pay not only internationally, but in likely impeachment and criminal prosecution of any that launched us in a 3rd War without a Congressional AUOF. Or they get sent right to the Hague as war criminals.

Of course, if there ever is a Iran War, it’s a pretty safe bet no member of the Gary Rosen family will venture into harm’s way. Nor his pals at LGF.

Nor will we get manipulated again by alarmist, incorrect info the neocons pushed with the idea that Iraq was to just be the start of regime changes. That would see the “anti-Islamofascism” coalition sweep through Syria, Lebanon, and Iran – after the Iraq “cakewalk” – making the ME safe for You Know Who – not costiing them a life or a shekel.
