No. They will not greet us as liberators.

Btw, a simple link would have sufficed. No need to copy and paste the item in its entirety.

Some people never learn. Just hope that this time we have a PM that isn't C**t struck with your Presdient and won't drag us into the mess that will follow such a strike.

Proof from an Iranian that he doesn't like his life there, doesn't like the clerical rule, but DOESN'T want Bush or the US to invade/bomb.

Of course, it may not be a direct invasion:

The ironic thing is Bush telling the Iranians they can do better, have better leadership and have a better government. I'm sure they have just as many options to remove their corrupt leadership as we currently do.

The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) last week reported “significant” cooperation with Iran over its nuclear programme and said that uranium enrichment had slowed

Thats pretty much where we were when the US decided to invade Iraq...

As to if people ever learn - it looks like Mr Bush has learnt as I don't see any talk of troops - just bomb the place. I hope that he doesn't as the US is disliked enough without unilateral & illegal wars (I doubt it would get UN sanction). I also doubt that many EU countries (hopefully us in the UK included) would not give clearance for military aircraft through their airspace.

The US has lots of attack and defense contingency plans in place, and constantly in development. It's part of ongoing military readiness. The fact that some of them occasionally are leaked to the press does not really make it news.

hahaha I didn't realise doing hypotheticals of invading a third sovereign nation for the century were "contingency plans".

Uh, doh, no shit sherlock. But this administration has yet to have any sort of a plan for anything unless of course you consider the fuck up of invading a country like Iraq that had no chance of ever invading us a plan.
Maybe Irans plan is the same of that of N.Korea. Test a few missles, brag about nukes and eventually get what they want. So what was the plan for N.Korea? Buckle under the pressure and give them what they want?

Someone in London did a bit of research on an Iran invasion and produced a 70 page pdf about it. Link to the PDF is in the link below that sums it up.

I guess what I mostly learned was when you plan to build a bomb somewhere by yourself its called conspiracy and you get life but when you plan to drop lots of bombs its called contingency plan because laws only apply to people with small bombs and no planes

It is better to have and not need, than need and not have. Do you not agree that it would better to have a plan on the shelf in case we choose to step onto the battlefield with any given nation so all we have to do is pull it out and set it into action, or would it be better to not have any plans and when the need arises have to make one from scratch?

I just spent the last two weeks at a remote outpost, where we sleep at night we are on a hilltop and can see for at least 2K in every direction, there are also have Iraqi Security Force checkpoints on all the major roads leading to our compound and there is nothing significant within 3K, so anyone trying to approach the compound is immedeatly identified because they have no other reason to be out there. Chances of us getting hit in the night are slim to none, yet we still man guard towers and have a base defense plan, do you consider it foolish or over-agressive to prepare ourselves for that situation?
