    What would G. Bush do with Iran?

    What would G. Bush do if Iran captured Americans? I bet he would not do shit.
    People should learn endurance; they should learn to endure the discomforts of heat and cold, hunger and thirst; they should learn to be patient when receiving abuse and scorn; for it is the practice of endurance that quenches the fire of worldly passions which is burning up their bodies.
    --Buddha

    He would say "Cheese sandwiches taste like cheese...", than he would go back to playing with lego's.

    ...and what would you want him to do, and what makes you think Iran wants to capture Americans. You watch too much cable news.

    Do you realize that you've just posted an admission of ignorance so breathtaking that it disqualifies you from commenting on any political or economic threads from here on out?

    I'd imagine Iran would not do such thing unless the soldiers were in Iran. The whole Iran deal I still see as Bush and Amahajsdkaskdaksd comparing dick sizes. I beleive Amahahsdhasd is a little bit more intelligent and sensible than Mr Saddam Hussein.

    edit: As for your hypothetical, I imagine Bush would demand that they be released immediately, give a deadline, and then forcefully return them at that date. All which would be legal and good in the eyes of the world.

    What's wrong with lagos? Anyway I don't know what makes you think I watch cable news maybe something I must have missed. I would want him to get pissed but that would never happen at this point. Iran could do what ever they want to US soldiers and get away with it which is unfortunate.

    I'm not one to give Bush much credit, but that statement is rediculous. Even Al Gore would go after them violently if required.

    Intelligent, yes, sensible, no.

    Amaahjflahflhas is a religious fanatic. Unless the Clerics tell him the 12th Imam got stuck in traffic and is running behind schedule, I expect him to grow more and more belligerent until somebody's hand is forced. He wants war. If he adheres to the beliefs of his sect, then he believes that catastrophic war will usher in Muslim domination of the world.

    Serious question-

    If one person/nation is intent on picking a fight there is not much you can do about it.

    If there is a secular revolution in Iran and the current government is overthrown, then we have a chance for peace. Otherwise, I think there will be war.

    Ahmadinejad is trying to provoke the world into a fight without appearing to be the instigator. If he can do that, Iran will rally around him. If not, they will overthrow him. The nuclear issue is perfect for that.

    Well said. Whatever move Ahmadinejad makes now he has to save face in some manner- whether he continues to jab at W. and the UN, or starts backing up his threats with military action. I thinks he is just buying time to get his nuke program rolling....

    I think he would address the nation (at some point) and explain that they are doing everything in their power to get those troops home safely. This would be immediatley followed by a giant distraction of some sort.

    A week later he would be seen posing on an aircraft carrier surrounded by hundreds of (non-captured) soldiers, with a giant banner that reads "MISSION ACCOMPLISHED".

    He wouldn't actually rescue those troops, but putting up the banner is pretty much the same thing.

    Yes, GWB is a doof. But I guarantee it, if Iran captured Americans, we'd go in and get 'em. And you'd most likely not even know it happened.

    Edit: If you want to know what I mean, watch some of the shows on the History Channel and the Military Channel about the Air Force Special Ops, the Green Berets, the Army Rangers, the Navy SEALs, etc. They know what to do, and can be there and back before breakfast. Stop watching so much 24hr news. And understand that, in spite of all the criticism the media puts on the military and the government, we have the absolute best military in the world and special forces trained specifically to accomplish their mission anywhere in the world, no matter the situation or condition. This has nothing to do with being for or against the administration; for or against the war, etc.

    Iran will not capture Americans. That would be suicide. Rather they will fund terrorist organizations to bog down the U.S. in Iraq until they can get their nukes. Then all bets are off.

    I think the question is what CAN GWB do? The answer is - not much. Mostly because he spent all of his 'political capital' and now faces opposition and distrust on all fronts. A nuclear Iran is a real threat. The best we can hope for is for GWB to buy time with sanctions until the next president who will then have to do something about it.

    Iran would rather wage a proxy war by continuing to supply shi'a militants with weapons than become actually involved.
    Alot easier when your hands are clean.

    See: US involvement with the mujihadeen.

    Sadly enough, this is incorrect.
    Most 'terrorist organizations' are far too extreme to even want anything to do with Iran.
    The fact alone that Iran lets jews live in their country makes them not especially liked by radicals.

    The only thing worse than the feeling that you are going to die is the realization that you probably won't.

    Exactly right. Which is why I think Iran wants war. It's not just one lose cannon saying all these things, there is a cabal of Clerics behind him pulling his strings.

    Its' a big chess game. Iran needs Muslim unity(against America/Israel)...or Muslim civil war. Either one will serve their purposes. Their stirring up Iraq is just a first move. They are setting the stage for something bigger, IMO.

    The historical irony of Britain's limp wristed defense of gunboat soldiers being harassed is priceless.
