It's your call on......Iran

I'm starting a new little predicition thread called, It's your call.

In these threads I want your opinion on what is going to happen in the near term (1-2 years) on a subject. These don't have to be well researched or have many footnotes and references to articles. I just want to know what your gut feel is on an issue is and why.

First issue Iran....

In 1-2 Years I see Nym sees in his crystal ball the following:

1) The mullahs gain further control as they step into Iraq and the vacuum.
2) The radical youth of Iran does not step up and force change through revolution.
3) War with the west.....possibly nuclear.

We all know I have a morbid fascination with nukes and I think we are closing in on the time of usage and here seems the place. The U.S. went from no nukes to nukes in 4 years and it had not been done before. The runway is short with Iran and when France starts beating the war drum then we all should worry. Lastly, I believe that any bomb the develop won't stay in the arsenal llong....it will land somewhere in Israel.

I think war with Iraq (no ground troops and no invasion) is becoming inevtiable. regardless of who wins next year.

Thoughts?

Anybody read this book (Confessions of an Economic Hit-man)?

Good read, I recommend it. It was well written and entertaining. Anyone else read it? Thoughts? I'd be interested in hearing how all of the former Bushies on this blog would react to it.
