Watching Those We Chose: Dick Cheney needs a muzzle, a sturdy chain...and a tranquilizer dart

Watching Those We Chose: Dick Cheney needs a muzzle, a sturdy chain...and a tranquilizer dart:
"- Iranians have a strong national identity that is founded in common
history; unlike Iraq, which was cobbled together from the remnants of the
Ottoman Empire, and occupied by Britain from 1917 to 1958. Iraq has existed for
90 years, and been occupied by “liberators” for 45 of them.
- Iran is four times the size of Iraq, with terrain that ranges from placid
coastline to rugged mountains.
-The average male Iranian is just under 25 years of age.
-Iran has as many males between 15-64 as Iraq has total population Iran
will not fall simply because a figurehead might be deposed.
-Iran will not fall so long as one Mullah remains alive anywhere in the
country.
-Iran has a relatively modern military that has not been decimated by two
decades of war and sanctions. Iran has the ability to shut down the passage of
oil tankers, and send the price of oil to triple-digit per barrel prices."


War with Iran is a bad idea, it is not going to do down in a cloud of dust and cheers like Iraq did. War with Iran, even on terms of just the battle between America and Iran would be bloody and disastrous. If you add to the mix the fact that Israel would clearly be attacked and drawn into the war, as well as a number of other Middle East nations, it is too horrible to think about.

Keep in mind again that I have been watching this show, that is warping my thoughts, but I have a scary idea right now. What if this isn't about money, oil, water or earthly power at all. What if this is being driven by powers behind the scene that want to bring on the last holy war of Armageddon. People behind the scenes that believe if they can trigger the war, then Jesus will come back and take them to heaven, and they won't die. I know it is crazy.
