What happens if we bomb IRAN and it causes that government to collapse?

We buy oil at contracted prices and the per barrel charge is just something investors and the world play with in public so that Other nations must pay through the nose for the same oil we have contracted at $20,00 a barrel for .

Quoting the price of oil is nothing more then providing a reason for oil companies to raise the price of Gas .

$4 billion paid five years ago for oil is now making profits of 30 billion today .

Its all a big scam folks .

If that happens, we'll end up feeling "honor bound", as Huckabee might say, to go in and get a new government started...

which will require us to use our military...

which means that we'll be giving Muslim radicals a chance to shoot at Americans someplace other than in Iraq...

which means that, instead of one quagmire, we'll have two on our hands...

which means that our troop commitments and war debt will escalate enough further, along with anti-American hostility across the planet...

Rinse, lather, repeat. The Bush foreign policy formula: if at first you screw-up, try to distract people from your failure by screwing up even more someplace else, preferably with tactical nuclear weapons (to ratchet up the "shock and awe" factor, you understand).

The plan is to destroy Iran -WMD as ever is an excuse.This is another use of US firepower to destroy Israel's opponents so they can achieve their goal of Zionist One World Government.

If we bomb Iran, I can promise you that the people will rally around their government. The Shah was overthrown because he was a stooge of the US. We deposed the rightfully elected leader of Iran only to install the Shah, and the Iranians knew it.

The government in Iran is unpopular, but bombing them will only rally the people to their government. Remember what 9/11 did for Bushs approval ratings.
