Comments on: What Would War on Iran Do to the Price of Oil? http://www.antiwar.com/blog/2007/08/19/what-would-war-on-iran-do-to-the-price-of-oil/ Tue, 24 Nov 2009 12:49:55 -0800 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.6 hourly 1 By: Tom S http://www.antiwar.com/blog/2007/08/19/what-would-war-on-iran-do-to-the-price-of-oil/comment-page-1/#comment-10272 Tom S Tue, 02 Oct 2007 03:40:19 +0000 http://www.antiwar.com/blog/2007/08/19/what-would-war-on-iran-do-to-the-price-of-oil/#comment-10272 Let's let Iran develope nuclear power. It'll give us and the rest of the world an excuse to go in there and start over. When the world flushes the Middle East is where it winds up. It is a pitiful place that will never ever get corrected, with wars or "peace talks". To a degree Bush is right for going after these goons over there and there is a great cost to the United States. Twist it into whatever you want but that is the premise. These people have been fighting for an exponential amount of time mostly in the name of religion. Iran's want for nuclear capability is nothing more than what North Korea did to us. Extortion. Let's let them develope these weapons. Let Israel be attacked. Lord knows they'll retaliate without ambiguity. Let’s let Iran develope nuclear power. It’ll give us and the rest of the world an excuse to go in there and start over.

I don't know about you, but if an IRS agent came to my town knocking on doors and asking each resident for $30,000+ to pay off the debts of the Establishment War Party then my town would probably "wake up" and that agent would be ridden out of town on a rail. I am not a hick, either. It will be hilarious when Washington comes out and says that the trillions of dollars in debt are the fault of the people and not the policies. The establishment seems to like the people asleep, and something like that would probably wake them up. I wouldn't want to be in any Federal office or in the vicinity of any politicians when that day comes, unless you are one of the ones who brought the tar and the down.

We have many friends in the USA and enjoy their individual company. But how you guys have let your government hijack your economy and resources is hard to explain. In about 30 days, your Congress will have to approve the raising of your borrowing limit for your national debt from 9 trillion to probably 11 trillion dollars. Forget the cost of the gallon of petrol, each one of you in now indebted by about $30,000, each man, woman and child. Your Iraqi war has been financed by borrowings from Social Security, Medicare and other government funds along with about 2.2 trillion dollars from China. How can you afford another war with Iran, even if you think it is needed? Passing such a debt along to your children and grandchildren along with an increased terror threat is despicable. If you believe in the Iraq war, then pay for it. I returned to Canada after 9/11 from a Ph.D. career because I was not on the George Bush side of the line that he drew.

You people in Ontario are planning on stealing more Alberta oil under the guise of another 'National Energy Program,' is that right? Hell, it worked for you under Trudeau, why not again? The resources belong to the provinces, not to you boys out East, that's what the Canadian Constitution guarantees us out here in the West. Bush may be an insane despot, true, but that don't mean you can use that fact as a premise to steal Alberta oil. Nationalize “our” oil patch?

Iran currently has no nuclear weapons, and if and when they ever do acquire one, it will likely be crude and lack the long-range delivery capability of a true intercontinental weapon. It's difficult to believe now, but at one time Iran was the country favoured to be the democratic star of the Middle East. Virtually the entire Iranian armed forces were American armed and American trained. Although there is a great deal of lingering resentment over America having foisted the Shah upon them after deposing democratically elected Mosadegh, Iran is still not very interested in attacking America on its home ground. Anyone who tells you otherwise is simply whipping up fear and hysteria. Having said that, Iran is itself much better prepared for an attack now than in previous years. Any saccharine daydreams about a bloodless coup that would see the mullahs fall, Ahmadenijad in jail and the Iranians dancing into the streets with their arms full of flowers and sweets are the talk of lunatics. An attack on Iran would be costly, and if it was nuclear, the world would likely turn on America. Let's not forget that although many countries have an arsenal of nuclear weapons, only one country has ever used them. Iran will not “nuke America in reprisal”.

The American and the World economy would be wrecked beyond belief. If such a disaster does happen the Neo-Cons who designed and pushed for this war should have one thing happen to them and that is they should all become aquainted with large square areas surrounded by barbed wire. This should also happen to the citizens of Israel who are clamoring for the US to fight their war against Iran. These people know about barbed wire enclosures so it should come as no shock to them. They would all be much better off surrounded by barbed wire, living in barracks and having to report daily to some commandant.
