In order to understand the insane magnitude of the Zionist-neocon plan to attack Iran, read Wayne Madsen's latest post on his website (January 2, 2006). Madsen ticks off pertinent military and political details and ramifications of the impending attack—and the cataclysmic results. In addition to possibly kicking off a regional war of huge dimension, the demented Zionist-neocon plan for total war in the Middle East will spread massive amounts of radiation far and wide (from the use of tactical nukes by the United States and as a result of bombing Iranian nuclear facilities).
Unfortunately, due to the lackadaisical attitude of a nearly somnolent American public--brainwashed by neocon propaganda, thanks to a complaisant and culpable corporate media--it is far too late to do anything about this long-planned attack on Iran except sit back and watch the fireworks on CNN and Fox and, a few months down the road, pay the political price for neocon crimes.
Not only will another "war" destroy what is left of the American economy--an economy we are told is rosy, a calculated lie (it is a good economy for neolib bankers and death merchants)--but ultimately the American people will be told they have to "sacrifice" their children or themselves because "civilization" will be threatened by enraged and rampaging Muslims who will take none too kindly to having their cities bombed and their children dying from radiation sickness and eventually various cancers.
Of course, in the wake of the Zionist-neocon attack on Iran and the ensuring chaos, bullet stopper conscription will return and a more authoritarian and militarized society will be implemented. But then this is precisely what the Straussian neocons want--total war and a war-like society subservient to the authoritarian rule of the neocon "ruler kings" who have nothing but contempt for a constitutional republic.
