The Saudis, France and China are now talking to Iran to try to get them to change their mind.

4. I can just see bush reaching for that button

He is nuts enough to do this . I bet he has toy buttons to practice on just to keep the jab reflex up to par .

I don't think this Iran threat is a joke or a far off thing anylonger .

This subject keeps popping up all too often lately . Now I hear within the next two years but I'm afraid it will be sooner than this .

This it the bushs only card left to get out of the spot he is in now . They can stall investigations but for how long .

5. To be a real game of chicken,

both sides have to be a real and immediate threat to the other. So, this isn't really chicken. It's one side threatening another if it doesn't obey it's commands.

6. I don't know...an attack on Iran, especially a nuclear attack by Israel...

will have PLENTY of negative consequences for all sides..

7. Packi extremist will overthrow th government to get to th nukes to use them on Israel in retaliation

8. Once scenario. Iran giving Lebanese Hezbollah the weapons and the OK...

to use them is another.

Iran with nuclear weapons is unacceptable, new House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer told The Jerusalem Post hours after entering the party leadership position.

The Maryland Democrat said the view is shared by his party, rejecting assertions that the Democrats would be weaker than the Republicans on Iran.

He also said that the use of force against Teheran remained an option.
