We could start with the economic shock. This country is fiscally fragile teetering on the brink. There is every reason to speculate that the speculation on oil itself by our friends (enemies) at Goldman and Sachs et al would drive the price of oil over 10 dollars per gallon on the first day. While Chelsea Clinton and her banker husband make out like bandits, the rest of us mere serfs suffer and eat cake. The first news of the attack would set off a panic not seen since 9/11. Price gouging, shortages, and civil unrest would certainly follow even before the outcome was certain. Global financial markets would certainly face dire stress and initial free fall.
Additionally, it's very likely that sleeper cells are patiently awaiting this event right now. An attack against Iran automatically triggers an attack by Hamas and Hezbollah according to their agreement. Something as simple as a suicide attack at a coffee joint would send the fatherland security gestapo apparatus into full blown paranoid schizo mode and we'd be lucky not to have Northcom in the street demanding papers with bomb dogs in our faces at every turn. Civil liberties would be curtailed and dissenters spat on in a wave of senseless nationalist stupidity. Animosity and violence against muslims would be par for the course, especially if there are losses and there most certainly will be. Your military is not invincible. Demonstrations by normally peaceful muslim groups would be met with heavy handed police brutality fermenting more hatred and quickly ending any illusiion anyone ever had about America being a force of liberty and justice as events unfolded on the international stage.
And we don't really have a clue what the russians might do when their technicians are blown to bits at those nuclear sites. There is a wild card for you. Despite less hawkish political overatures by Mededev Iran still remains in the russians mind a balancer of power against a hegemonic empire bent on preemptive hostilities.
But my point is moot. You'll have your war. It's a done deal so enjoy and pray 1/10 of what I predict could happen doesn't happen.
1. I think the economic problem stemming from an attack on Iran is minimal, depending on the way we or Israel, go at them.
2. If we waltz right in there, then that will prove to be a mistake just like its been in Iraq and Afag.
3. What happened to war being fought by the air, like Bush 1 did to Iraq?
4. Quick and easy, three weeks and its over.
5. I wouldn't panic at all over hearing Iran got attacked, thats not realistic at all, only ones to panic will be muslims in Iran.
6. I don't see how Chelsea has anything whatsoever to do with this, but maybe her getting married recently just made you think of a person who is in reality a nobody.
7. Iran is so unplugged from the world economy, it just wouldn't even be noticed on any world stage, if they've been brought *offline* by a short war.
8. I agree about the sleeper cells, they are here, and ofcourse would try some shit, but our NSA and FBI will be all ears too, and will catch the bastards more than them get a chance to do something.
9. I wouldn't be bothered if they rounded up all the muslims when Iran gets attaked and send most of em back to their prespective nations.
10. Their liberty stops when it hinders mine and people like me, when they want their laws to supercede my laws, thats when their rights and liberty stop.
