Weigh in-- Is Bush going to strike Iran?

[mburbank]

Yeah, I agree with all that in terms of making sense. We don't need to attack Iran and it makes no damn sense.

But we didn't need to attack Iraq and it made no damn sense either.

And as commander in chief, he doesn't need any support at all, congressional, public or otherwise, to order a strike on Iran. I am concerned that he intends to commit us to war on Iran and leave the mess on the table. As Iraq demonstrates it's very hard to get out once you're in. I worry that he has a messianic vission and thinks this needs to be done, and the next president, even if he's Republican won't be in a position to do it. But if he starts it, they'll have to continue it.

However, I don't think W. drives the American bus, I think he's more like the hood ornament. So in less some of the other power players, who are just as whacky, but have a tad more depth, don't want to partner with him, it won't happen.

But I don't find the idea that it would be lunacy, or that it's uneccasry, comforting.
