So the bleak bottom line is this: barring a loss of nerve or political will by Israel--in other words, if the U.S. ally lets slide its long-established "red line" against permitting any nuclear rival to arise in the Mideast--things seem headed toward a war. It could happen as early as the fall, after the U.S. presidential election. In fact, right now there may be only one way left to stop hostilities: a direct diplomatic overture from Washington to Tehran. Iran has long made clear it wants what any sensible government wants: to negotiate with the power that has the ability to threaten it (the United States), as opposed to dickering with proxy powers that don't (the Europeans). It's time to stop playing around with pretend diplomacy. Just as JFK once did, the president must act decisively, approach Tehran on its own and put everything on the table. Otherwise we may be facing the Guns of November.

Editor's note: The photo that originally accompanied this story, showing missiles being fired, had been digitally altered by Iranian authorities before they released it to the media; the fourth missile (second from right) was added.

How did we feel during 9/11?

LIKE BOMBING CIVILIAN CITIES!.................P.S. WHO WOULD STOP US FROM BOMBING THEM?.....ANSWER............NO ONE COULD. .....................CHINA WON'T UPSET IRAN BECAUSE THEY NEED IRANS OIL..........................BUT THERE IS MUCH LESS CHANCE THEY WOULD ATTACK THE U.S. SINCE THIER ENTIRE ECONOMY (MAJOR DEBTS INCLUDED) REVOLVE AROUND THE U.S..

RUSSIA IS ABOUT TO ECONOMICALLY SKYROCKET (NATURAL GAS) (AND SPECIFICALY PUTIN HAS A PERSONAL MAJOR STAKE IN THE NAT. GAS) AND ANY TYPE OF WAR WOULD THREATEN THEIR BEST ECONOMIC CHANCES IN A CENTURY..............NO ONE OF ANY POWER LEFT...............IN OTHER WORDS, WE ARE ABLE TO DO WHAT WE WILL DO!
