Have we left it too late?

After Afghanistan, who will be next in line for military action Iran or Zimbabwe, or have we left it too late?

Both Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and Robert Mugabe, have been more of a threat than Saddam Hussain yet the West has never took action against them.

Saddam Hussein was attacked because

Bush had a personal vendetta against him -he tried to kill his daddy
They knew Iraq invasion would be an impressive walk over
Bush business relationships with global petro-chem industry (including the Bin Ladens and other Saudis of course) made Iraq a very attractive acquisition

Iran and Zimbabwe offer no such incentives

The West may attack Iran to please their Zionist friends. Nobody really cares about Zimbabwe.

[anotheoldgit]

Since Zimbabwe is the source of uranium, perhaps we should care.

two birds with one stone in that case?

I almost fell out of my chair yesterday when Brown said Al qaeda must be tackled wherever they are including Yemen and Somalia. It sounded like he was willing to send troops there.

old dinnerjacket and E ba gum, what a dynamic duo!

Israel will never allow them to build a bomb, they'll bomb sh1te out of them long before that.

If the Zionists dropped an atomic bomb on Iran would their use of the 'holocaust card' still have the same effect?

Yep, they attacked an Iraqi reactor once, they might well do it again, although I suspect the Iranian facilities are hidden and hardened.

Remember too that Iran is a lot larger than Israel, further away and doesn't border it. Israeli aircraft would have to cross Jordanian and Iraqi airspace to do this which would implicate the Americans.

I think a submarine launched cruise missile attack on Iranian nuclear installations is much more probable but Obama will not want to do that without a UN resolution otherwise it would be seen as yet another American act of aggression
