Here’s Something to Truly Fear
July 9th, 2008 | by Paul Merda |What Gary North and I fear most anymore isn’t terrorists, it isn’t Peak OIl, it isn’t even my own government (though they are high up on the list), it is an Israeli attack on Iran. Think about it…after the election and before the next President is sworn in the Israeli’s attack Iran’s “nuclear facilities“. Not that even the Israeli’s think that have them. I doubt they do considering the recent publicized intelligence in the US saying that Iran gave up its nuclear ambitions in 2003. No, they will attack Iran to get Iran involved in the regional war we are fighting in Iraq and Afghanistan. Once involved, the Americans can once again do their dirty work for them (again) because the new President will have to respond, or be considered weak by his countrymen. Then Iran would be using its economy to fight America since Israel is far enough away to be insulated. While the Iranians waste precious resources fighting us, they obviously won’t be able to use their resources to build nukes, which is all Israel may want. Considering all of the rhetoric related to Iran and their supposed nukes, I do fear this as an actual possibility. If this occurs, $4/gallon for gas would be considered a bargain.

Your post is exactly one of those things that is constantly on my mind.
With a soldier, the father of my children, my husband, serving in Iraq, right now (and will be there until a while after our next president is sworn in), it is one of my greatest concerns. It’s hard enough thinking about him being in Iraq, in general, but when you think about throwing Iran in the mix (or rather, what fresh hell will rain down in Iraq and other US interests if Iran were attacked…), it’s the kind of thing that keeps me up at night.
I sincerely hope that this speculation turns out to be so wrong as to be worth laughing about how silly we were (are).

I agree Dizzy! I hope I can laugh at myself over my paranoia…
