Why the Conspiracy Theorist In Me Thinks the US Won't Attack Iran At All

1) oil prices would skyrocket, wreaking havoc on the western economies

2) Iran would retaliate in some nasty fashion giving a very unpredictable outcome to any attack on Iran

3) I don't sense that the Bush administration's heart is really in attacking Iran, and I don't see a big media campaign by the Whitehouse on this issue. I feel a lot of the Iran rhetoric is simply to appease wingnuts itching for another war.



Finally, I do wonder if the talk about attacking Iran that is bubbling through the internet is yet another diversion to keep people from talking about 9/11.
