Smart people realize this is happening all the time. Let the MEK have at the Iranians.
 
I think the US should back the hell out of the way of Israel and let them do what they do best...and that's kick some ass...We stood in their way when Iraq was launching Scuds at them..we said be patient and restrain your urges to slaughter Saddam..if we had let them do their thing, maybe we wouldn't have been in Iraq this long and Iran would still only be making flying carpets....

Without the US, they'd be overrun.

Israel will always be our safehaven in a region of historical turmoil and US animosity.

The Jews are the chosen of God and, though they may be made to suffer at times, anyone who has gone against them has ultimately lost. From Egypt to Nazi Germany, anyone who has gone against the Jewish people have lost. I hope the U.S. never turns against, or abondons Israel. God will not look favorably on us.

and `Yep !' again !!!
God isn't going to let anything come in the way that can then be seen as a reason for Israel's win - He'll do it all; remember Gideon started out with 32,000 fighting men; when he got it sized down to 300 God was satisfied - and delivered Israel from the Mideonites.:D
 
What, that there's a problem with the sucession in Iran? That's good for BHO, isn't it, keeps those Iranian's busy. Not sure what the problem is with the protests, it shows how illegitimate the government in Iran has become. Of course they are going to blame it on us and the British, but that's getting up there with the North Korean government claming that the U.S. makes their electricity grid blink, Castro saying the U.S. is about to attack, Nicaragua bringing up another alleged plot every week...some governments are going to try to blame an untimely rain on us just because it's a freebie and costs nothing to do. Luckily the Blame on the U.S. game is getting really long in the tooth - actually we could call it dentures at this point.

More worried about the incursions into Iraq over oil fields in territory that Iran claims is under dispute, which, to be fair, is also under-reported, and Saudi Arabia fighting insurgents from Yemen and crossing into Yemen.

As for media attention, I have to go to BBC to get international news of ANY kind, good or bad (getting a British Bias, but I can't help that, it's better than World Focus). All I get from U.S. news is blah blah blah U.S. Blah Blah media star, blah blah Tiger Woods, blah blah pagans invading Christmas...

The Iranians have also taken control of some oil wells and have gone out of their way to make sure it was noticed. The nuclear deadline is fast approaching and Israel is beyond tired of the sanctions game.

There is also the Russian and Chinese interests at play here.

The worst case scenario is that internal and/or external forces have the potential to drag Iraq into this fray. To what extent is an unknown, but Iran is not going to go down without a fight should it get backed into a corner.

And neither is Israel.

It is anyone's guess how this plays out. If the regime senses that its internal situation is getting out of control it may lash out at external targets. See the problem?
