The US is not going to attack Iran. Even Bush is not that crazy. Here are the reasons:

1) The surge in Iraq has worked because Iran is cooperating. If we attack Iran, all hell will break loose in Iraq. Bush can not afford this.

2) Our military is overextended. This doesn't mean we can't fight another war. It just means that if we do, we will be out of reserves and our allies will be vulnerable to attack (for instance South Korea)

3) The price of oil will shoot up to $15 a gallon or more as the Iranians rain ballistic missiles down on the Saudis.

4) We can't be sure of success since the Iranian millitary is much larger than the Iraqi millitary was and we all know how great we have done in Iraq.

  I hope you're right wildman. But I don't think anyone can overestimate the craziness of this bunch. They're liable to do anything. I don't think they worry about consequences because their group will make money and they are not the ones who are going to die.
