Re: Get ready, coming soon
Well the administration in Washington can't say they were not warned, and were basically begged in the media to take a stand.
Re: Get ready, coming soon
Then what we need to worry about is what will happen here after Israel attacks. Reprisals will not just occur in the Middle East.
Re: Get ready, coming soon
You can't really blame them. According to Mitt Romney, it's all hopeless anyway:
"You hope for some degree of stability, but you recognize that this is going to remain an unsolved problem...and we kick the ball down the field and hope that ultimately, somehow, something will happen and resolve it," Romney said. He said pushing Israel to give up disputed territory for a two-state solution with the Palestinians "is the worst idea in the world."
Now, I know the Iranians aren't the same thing as Arabs, but as you guys have mentioned, what happens in the Middle East has a big effect in other parts of the world, including the U.S. Is Romney's stance really to hope it just goes away?

This could lead into a war much bigger than most people think, seeing Egypt moving armor into position makes one think. These people don't think the same as Americans think, they have a weapon IMO they will use it. This could really get nasty.
Re: Get ready, coming soon
I have zero problem with Israel attacking Iran. As a sovereign nation, they have a right to defend themselves against foreign aggression. Absolutely, without a doubt.
I hope, wish, and pray that it does not come to pass. But I am a pragmatist, and in the end I know that Iran and her allies fully intend to attack and attempt to destroy Israel, by whatever means necessary. I would suggest to them "be careful what you wish for", because Israel will not roll over and die just because Iran wants them to.
If, or should I say, when it happens, it will be bloody, firey, and won't stop until Israel is satisfied that they have won. Israel will not stop until they feel confident that her enemies cannot hurt them anymore.
Where will we(the U.S.)stand in all of this? History suggests that we will stand with Israel.......... but I believe our current POTUS has other things in mind. However, all of that, and its consequences remain to be seen.
What I do believe is this: when that war begins, we will see our country attacked again......... from within. It will probably make 9-11 look tame in comparison. Then what? What will this POTUS do in response? My guess, and this is just a wild guess, is that he'll do something that goes against our wishes as a nation and possibly puts us in even more danger, simply because he and his administration refuse to protect America like they should.
We'll see. But if war breaks out in the Middle East, it won't be long before it breaks out here as well.

Not good. Our defense treaty with Japan requires that we defend them.
