Okay, since we haven't actually started sending any soldiers into harm's way over there yet, I want to go officially on record as saying tangling with Iran would be a mistake in my book. I understand the rationale behind it, and I would argue that if this was January 2003, it would make more sense to scrap with Iran then Iraq. But at this stage of the game, if we start any more trouble in the middle East oil fields, China's going to get involved. We've already driven the price of oil up to $73 a barrel... if we attacked Iran, I don't think it's unreasonable to expect it to go over $100.
If we really want to put an end to Iran's nuclear amibitions, we should bite the bullet and refuse to bank with any country that continues to bank with them. Give our unilateral sanctions some teeth.
