Re: Question (Posted by RedStatesMan)
Not so far as to ruin our nation in a long, drawn out, perpetual war that would involve our nation fighting about 2 billion people and probably reinstate the draft and have our young people and many others fighting and dying and being maimed for life -- probably the greatest war of all time -- and leave us vulnerable to strong arm tactics from China and other countries who would see how unable we would be to deal with other crises.
I think waiting to see how this plays out in the next few weeks is the most prudent move. I don't think we have a Hitlerian or Stalinesque regime here. I think they are pragmatic enough to attempt to defuse the situation. They know what happened to the Shah.
If conditions worsen, I think talking with those who supply Iran would help. To have restricted trade would send a message.
But I doubt that they will worsen.

Thanks for the link. It's also on change.com. However for non-U.S.A residents it's unusable because it does not want to know non-american zip-codes. However it can be found elsewhere e.g. Facebook.
