Iran a terrorist state? You mean the country whose twice had US intervention and you expect the leadership there to embrace the US with open arms. Right, makes sense. What in your mind makes a country a terrorist state. It sure seems like the US has a pretty darn terrorist mind set when it came down to spreading fear about communism. > The idea this would cause an escalation from Russia and China is also absurd. Of course they are backing them now because it's politically convenient, but when push comes to shove, they won't fight. The best surprises are the ones you do not see coming. You can say what you want. You don't make the decisions. Furthermore I stated my opinion that they would intervene. It was not a prediction as you take it. I strongly dissented from your opinion. > if the US hits its refineries, etc, Iran is hosed This one makes me laugh! To believe that one country would be hosed from striking at oil. There's an elephant in the room that indicates it would not be in the best interest of anyone to stifle turmoil in an OPEC state given that other countries will have to deal with the offsets and refugees. Think we've all seen the effects around the world with these wars. Very funny!
