It is clear that the conquest of the ME part of a grander scheme of world domination. The west's stance of preserving its hold on the world changed since the post WW2 era. Now we seek to enlarge our empire rather than admit it is destined to fall like all others do.
War with Iran would set us down a path we would never be able to recover from. It would set in motion our eventual decline.
I hope our leaders are capable of evolution. Their mindsets are very limited and focus on domination rather than true progress. I see no difference between the west's empire and that of a little remembered empires that end up only as footnotes in history due to their constant need for conquest.

The only reason Iran has for being mad at Israel is because of the conflict over the West Bank. Iran has no reason for being involved in that issue at all. Iran supports Hamas and we know they support Syria's Assad. Iran is a Shiite run government run by religious extremists and puts Christians to death.
Israel never threatened Iran until Iran using the Israeli/Palestinian conflict as their reasoning threatened to annihilate the Jews. Iran won't let peaceful IAEA inspectors in to examine the nuclear plant in question. Iran is acting suspiciously buddy.
Get your war panties on cause this is going to happen. There are things happening in America I absolutely disagree with. I was against the war in Afghanistan. I protested the war in Iraq. I think we were extremely successful in Libya because Obama didn't take the go it alone approach. Iran is acting very suspiciously.
Which makes the whole discussion pretty academic. I refuse to try to guess what the Trilaterals, CFR, and the others are thinking.
Then again, really Obama is just a puppet for the various 3 letter agencies like the Trilateral Commission among other things. They are the real deciders of what goes on in the United States.

Dear tothetenthpower,
Thanks, I wasn't giving enough weight to the domestic pressures on Obama. But I wonder which way they're pushing him? If he gets into war with Iran before the elections does he say goodbye to a second term? And if he waits until after the elections, isn't he pretty much pressure-proof? (Assuming he's re-elected)

(Wait a minute, maybe I will guess. Wouldn't Israel be a hindrance to a one world government? That means a war detroying Israel? Obama would be told not to help Israel enough to have them win? My head is spinning again, but that happens a lot here. Straighten me out if you feel like it.)
