War drums are beating louder as Iran test fires nuclear missiles. What choice does the U.S. have but to invade Iran? The world is not safe when a country has nukes to defend itself--particularly when said country has plenty of oil. History says so. I mean the U.S. says so.
With the price of oil in the stratosphere and no relief in sight, America is getting thirsty for additional cheap supply. Unfortunately (for the U.S.), the time is wrong for an invasion. The recession at home coupled with the troops being spread too thin indicates that such an adventure is unlikely in the short term.
What I think we're going to see is a prolonged period, say several years, where the Americans will denounce Iran using all the propaganda they can muster. Sound familiar? During this time, Iran will defy all calls to disarm. I always find it ironic that the bullies with the most and the best weapons, not to mention the proclivity to engage in warfare, are always the ones demanding disarmament of others, citing how dangerous they are. Who are they kidding?
Iran is no danger to anyone. If Iran makes a first strike against anyone, I will stand in front of City Hall and literally eat my hat. On the other hand, if anyone would like to take my wager that the U.S. war machine will strike somewhere, anywhere, before Iran does, I'll give you 100 to 1.
