<Maybe they think that their under-developed missles will prove to be reliable without extensive engineering and testing.> The Iranian military has very extensive and effective capabilities in missile and artillery warfare and has had that expertise for many years. Iran is not Iraq and our military is well aware of that fact. The politicians better be careful. Jim Fleming

You are very knowledgeable on the world scene,I read many publications including Asia Times and they seem to be mostly anti US, but see pretty much what your saying about zealots taking the reins in Iran.This will make the Iraqi and Afghan wars look like child's play...I hope it can be avoided,no one ever knows how it will look in the aftermath.Israel is the wild card.TJ may get his wish...

EP, <<I think the crisis will go down to the last minute, and I think the odds of military action are very high>> ... I am bullish. On Iran's capabilities, and ability to strongly influence the events in Iraq, and further across the sea in Japan and China, bankers/suppliers to the US, I think the intricacies have not been thought through and convolutions not fully explored. On Venezuela, I think the wider implications of LatAm dominos must be taken into account, else a longterm miscalculation is being made. On N.Korea, never quite understood the people north and south of the 38 parallel ... they are both puzzles. Chugs, J
