http://afp.google.com/article/ALeqM5hhAU0Q7ORmUEV7GOYnBxy-H9U96g Iran on Wednesday test-fired a missile whose range puts Israel within reach, angering the United States amid growing fears that the standoff over the contested Iranian nuclear drive could lead to war. The Shahab-3 was among a broadside of nine missiles fired off in the early morning from an undisclosed location in the Iranian desert, state-run Arabic channel Al-Alam and its English counterpart Press-TV reported.This is the wrong time for Iran to remind Israel that Iran can strike Israel. I imagine that the Israelis will attack Iran’s nuclear facilities before Shrub leaves office. They know that Obama will not approve any Israeli attack. What Iran should be doing is making nice with the UN, Europe, China and Russia to include lots of backdoor and shady deals in order to create a political coalition against any possible attack.

Iran had seriously better check itself. Do they remember what happened to Syria?
I for one would have NO problem with Israel doing their thing and taking out some installations.
The US Military is too busy in Iraq to deal with the real threat, but hopefully our allies will clean this @#$% up.

It's such a complicated problem. I really don't know what the answer is. Energy prices wuold skyrocket if there is any conflict in the Mid East. That is for sure.

I guess that's true...I assume Iran doens't sell oil to the US but it would still ripple through. Still these jackasses are messing with THE BULL, so they should get THE HORNS pitty would support me

That would be problematic since the Iranians put some of their facilities deep under cities….

A very good and surprisingly unbiased article on Iran and the “Guns of November.” http://www.newsweek.com/id/145244 In "The Guns of August," her much-quoted history of the start of World War I, Barbara Tuchman wrote that European leaders were "appalled upon the brink" by their own martial posturing and "attempted to back away" from the devastating conflict that was about to start. But at the eleventh hour "the pull of military schedules dragged them forward." A tipping point had been reached in which war had gained its own grim momentum. Cooler heads could no longer prevail.
