Dear “Grover”:
It’s Maui Wowie I’ve been smoking. Premo stuff. Yup, you got me there. Naw…just kidding of course!
Unfortunately, when it comes to hydrogen bombs things aren’t the way the used to be. Back in the good ol’ days (ca. 15 years ago) we still needed a conventional atom bomb to trigger the fusion reaction of a hydrogen bomb. Therefore hydrogen bomb explosions always had to be HUGE! Well, sadly, things have changed. We can now activate the nuclear fusion of hydrogen through various other means, e. g. high energy lasers. Which means we can make hydrogen bombs as small or as large as we like. The Russians know this. The Chinese know this. Which is why neither of them will interfere militarily with whatever we do. We’ve got an entirely new set of weapons in our quiver.
Again, our war motives against Iran are only indirectly related to their strive towards acquiring nuclear weapons. Yes, our favorite ally in that region, also sometimes called our “air-craft carrier in the Mid-East” wants us to pummel Iran. But we’re only going to do this because Persia happens to also have something that we want — Texas Tea. You see, as you are certainly already aware, anything we do is morally and godly justified as long as it’s in America’s “strategic interest”.
And oh, by the way, good comment about the “habeas corpus”. Glad to see someone is still paying attention to important matters.

Dear Cino:
My dear comrade (funny, very funny I know)… You’re absolutely right — the boys in the White House might very well be short a few bulbs of a full marquee!
But being that humans are naturally inclined to follow powerful, decisive leaders — regardless of their wisdom or morality — the taking of the Iran oil fields by U.S. forces will likely come to pass.
If history is any guide, it doesn’t normally take a lot of soldiers to occupy a country, and in this case we are only talking about a limited amount of territory anyways — the Iranian oilfields. E. g. the British Empire was able to the huge territory of India with a comparatively minute number of troops. Because if anyone even thought about “making trouble” they could be assured that London would send a big army to deal them. So sure, today in Iraq there is resistance, but in terms of casualties it’s well below any level which might influence our policies, present or future. And our decision makers might very well assume that any increase in rebellion to our forces can be offset by a “loosening” (applying a more ruthless set) of our rules of engagement.
Sure Russia and China have made deals with Iran, just like they made agreements with Iraq before it was invaded. If Iran attacks us first (which is what “officially” will happen), e.g. sinks one of our aircraft carriers — the oldest and rustiest one of course — then we have every right to “defend” ourselves now don’t we? And we will have every right to the “spoils of war” (them fields of tar). Throughout history the winner always has.
Greetings,
The Wizard In The Woods.
