HOW TO START A WAR

[ShadowRunner]

In 1953 help destabilize their country and install puppet leader
In 1988 shoot down one of their airliners
In 1988 join in the Iran-Iraq war on the side of Iraq, attacking 2 Oil rigs and 2 warships
In 1995 Create a trade embargo on Iran
In 2002 Refer to Iran as Axis of Evil
In 2003 Turn down peace/trade offer from Iran
In 2003 Begin incursions and attacks on Iranian sovereign territory using Drones
In 2006 Use the CIA to fund £400m to known terrorist organisations against Iran
In 2007 Raid an Iranian Consulate and kidnap 5 people
In 2008 Increase this use of known terrorists against Iran

2011/2012

Speculate based on zero historical evidence,
move your forces to someone's borders
create a major provocation
assassinate a few scientists
send them a computer virus
sabre-rattle and insult the leaders
apply economic sanctions
repeatedly discuss attacking the country with their enemies
Let slip to journalists that your ally will attack them before Spring
talk about "time running out"
ignore the fact the other two major superpowers in the world don't agree with you
assume this country is stupid enough to use nuclear weapons like you did... etc etc etc etc...

This is how to ensure a war starts...

Hell, here goes nothing.

Americans want more oid, so must be a war. I hope Iran will ask United Nations for help.

[Mastakilla]

It will be Israel to first attack Iran... Not America.

This.

My OP is very one-sided, doesn't mention naughty things Iran did.

What's scary, is if Leon Panetta (USA) says Israel will do it in Spring, then it's pretty definite I think.

I HATE EVERY WESTERN

BY THE WAY EUROPE ISN'T IN WEST
BECAUSE AFRICA ISN'T WESTERN EITHER

[ShadowRunner]

Take a look at the Earth from space, see any borders?


(stfu about Great Wall of China though)

[~DJ~]

that was stupid on so many levels

[synthetic]

I think stupidity subsumes the biomass more or less indiscriminately from the East to West. What (positive) differences may exist, are generally born from some random event in the local region's past. Tracing from the North to South, it is either too cold to waste time on thinking, or too hot to bother.

Care to elaborate Mr Hidden?

that was stupid on so many levels

No it wasn't.

You call me Western, but the Romans only got 30 miles past the Scottish border. Same with the Welsh and Irish, Norwegians, Icelandic people, you can't accurately call us Western or European.

It's like me calling you Persian, or calling you African.

Astronauts see no borders, it has a profound effect on their lives. Alexei Leonov was the first, followed by many others who mention this change in their lives and their beliefs. They see the stupidity of segregation.

Globalization was the beginning, one world government is possible in the future.
