One cannot know what an attack on Iran would trigger, but it is my observation that most Arab (Iran is Persian) are cowardly when it comes to war and have been swiftly defeated when they engaged in it. Iran has few real friends and few willing to die for it.Alan Carubahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10901162110385985193noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-196554259323465442.post-85648212153991252132012-09-18T06:41:11.978-07:002012-09-18T06:41:11.978-07:00One of my first blog articles in 2005 was one that...One of my first blog articles in 2005 was one that highly advised an air campaign against the Iranian nuclear facilities.<br /><br />On the patriot blogsphere in those days, I was part of a chorus asking Bush to pretty please bomb, bomb, BOMB Iran.<br /><br />Alas! We were voices crying in the wilderness!<br /><br />In 1936 Hitler moved the German army into the Rhineland. This action was forbidden by treaty, and the Allied non-response to naked aggression by Nazi Germany is thought by most historians to be leading cause of WW II.<br /><br />It would appear history is repeating itself, as once again the United States has done nothing effective to stop a global conflict.<br /><br />Indeed, the dogs of world war are lose on the planet again!Ronbohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02767498198886077632noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-196554259323465442.post-53564831674203613392012-09-18T05:16:45.942-07:002012-09-18T05:16:45.942-07:00Both interesting and scary. The question I ask is...Both interesting and scary. The question I ask is would it end with just a limited war between Israel and Iran? Iran appears to have few allies, but would the pressure from the populace of the Muslim countries of Middle East, North Africa and South Asia be too much for those governments to bear?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07495443340818396309noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-196554259323465442.post-64492452399103519362012-09-17T14:35:56.303-07:002012-09-17T14:35:56.303-07:00Alan,

I read it 35 years ago and as I read it became startling clear to me that this book was foundational to much of my reading habits for the last 35 years. <br /><br />Among other things, he outlines the very thing you talk about....appeasement and the consequences of attempting to appease those who will not be appeased because they have a vision they are going to pursue no matter what you do. <br /><br />Everyone needs to read this book at least once in their life. Oh…by the way…for those who don’t believe in conspiracies….please read at least one history book…. I recommend this one.<br /><br />Rich K<br />Rich Kozlovichhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13745960671409518147noreply@blogger.com
