US Strike on Iran: Fallout Around the World Would Be Grim

A Full-blown Catastrophe lurks in the wings. Somebody has got to stop Bush. More Generals please; more whistle- blowers, please!

If you have something the American people need to know, get it out now!

Peaase don't wait until there is more innocent blood on your hands or ours!

US Strike on Iran: Fallout Around the World Would Be Grim:

"Poison-laced missiles raining down on U.S. troops in Iraq or Afghanistan, the downing of a U.S. passenger airliner, suicide bombers in major cities, perhaps unleashing their deadly payload in a shopping mall food court. It could be 9/11 all over again. Or worse.

On the political front, more anti-Americanism.
Renewed venom aimed at Washington from European capitals, greater distrust from China and Russia, outright hatred in the Arab and Muslim world. Oil prices spiralling out of control, a global recession at hand.

In Iran, a galvanizing of a splintered nation. An end to hopes for political reform, a rally-around-the-leader phenomenon common among the victimized, an ability to rebuild a nuclear program in two to four years.

These are the potential costs of a U.S. military strike in Iran.
'It would be Iran's Pearl Harbor and it will be the beginning of a war, not the end of a war. It will set back American strategic interests for a generation,' says Joseph Cirincione, the director for non-proliferation at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace."
