Finally Our Own Group- and some thoughts on Iran [View all]

...errr so to speak.

I really hope it doesn't just become an I/P ghetto.

As for me personally, living here in the Middle-East completely changed my perspectives on the place. The first thing I learned was NEVER to trust the so-called experts and go with what you see.

For example... right now I am (for the first time) actually concerned there will be war with Iran in one form, or another.

All of the pieces I have seen on the ground are in-place.

1. Anti-missile shield to protect the Gulf States and to keep them quiet while the US and/or Israel does the work... CHECK
2. Large capacity pipelines to keep the oil flowing in-place. CHECK, now complete.
3. Iran reaching point of no return for building a bomb. CHECK

Other than absolute Iranian capitulation in last minute talk with the US (regardless of who wins the election), their will be a war in the next 12 months.

Makes me double plus glad I am re-locating back to the states soon before the shite hits the fan.
