Iran Says the United States In No Position To Start A War

       Iran said  today that the United States isn't in any position to start a war against it and said that Washington and its friend's  should engage in more dialogue.

    Iranian Foreign Minister Manouchehr Mottaki  told  reporters that, "We do not see America in a position to impose another crisis on its tax payers inside America by starting another war in the region."

Bill Richardson ( D Governor NM ) and 2008 presidential candidate wrote in an op-ed piece in the Washington Post  that, "Saber-rattling is not a good way to get the Iranians to cooperate, But it is a good way to start a new war."   He also said that Iran, "will not end their nuclear program because we threaten them and call them names."

   You know what? Governor Richardson is right on this point as it would seem that Iran's leaders are not to worried about the United States. Though our allies would like to see this happen, especially Israel, I think that many other countries would very harshly condemn Bush on the act even though his head is to think to hear what anyone says unless it suits his purpose.

   The only way that the United States can attack Iran is by air as we certainly do not have enough troops on the ground to do to much of anything. I point to Iraq as an example.

   We do already have the carriers and missile ships and all of those other goodies out in the straits just waiting for a fly over and bombing run but the United States would be screwing itself if it did so. Israel would be stepping into a corner that they could never get out of if the U.S. attacks Iran.

    Talk is cheap from both the U.S. and Iran but until a better solution comes along, it is the only way at this point in time.
