Oh and don't be an alarmist, we are not going to get into a "nuclear war" with Iran. Iran has no nukes yet, and when they do, they will never have as many or as good of ones as us.

A "nuclear war" between us and Iran would be like a fight between a 98 pound weakling and a heavy weight. Iran might blow one up here, but we could erase them from the face of the earth if they did. So I really doubt it will happen. Iran just wants you to be afraid, and it appears it is working.
What's the difference between being afraid and being prepared? Iran is defying the UN. It supports Hezbollah. It's been tied to the Shia fundamentalist militias in Iraq.

What happens if Iran controls ALL the oil in the Middle East? Especially since we appear to not have the sense to drill our shit?
