What are the odds of Israel attacking Iran in the next 6 months?

I think the odds are better than 30% sad to say. I wonder how other readers of this board feel?

The funniest thing of all is watching republicans and democrats argue about which leadership is the bigger group of scumbags.

It's so beyond obvious that both are corrupt to the core, incompetent, and doing all sorts of serious damage to the country, I find it mind boggling that anyone with any intelligence at all would want to give any power to them (let alone more). The debate should be how we can get rid of all of them.

Can it be done democratically?

I doubt it very much. They are in bed with all the wealth in the country. The combination of all that wealth, media power, and political power can form opinions among the less intellectually blessed and also suppress any serious opposition.

I think it's way more likely that it has to be done "mafia style". There has to be selective "hits" on key people in politics and among the "money men". Then all the others will fall into line because they'll understand that the penalty for corruption, theft, financial pillage and total incompetence is no longer a slap on the wrist and business as usual. The penalty is a hole in the ground with your body in it.

I couldn't and wouldn't hurt a fly, but quite honestly, that's the only way to fix this mess before the whole thing collapses under the weight of a bad monetary system, corrupt and incompetent government, greedy financial sector, and the trillions of dollars of promises that can't be kept that were made by brain dead idealists and scumbags that would sell their mother to get re-elected.
