Ya gotta love it! Bush tells Iran that he will use military action.
The guy has Kahuna's the size of Mt. Everest. That's why I like him so
much. The man ain't a scardy cat like some of the posters in this

would be a shoe in! Let's see how many wimp liberals pipe up.


1. Iran is well equipped and a morally motivated nation. It has a long
history of being a superpower during the pre-Islamic era and
geo-politically well linked with the neighbouring power groups. Simple
run over like Iraq and Afghanistan by US is therefore not possible.
2. Any offensive against Iran would amount to destabilising Pakistan,
Russia and China in this region. Russia has openly announced in June
2005 that she would continue her support for the development of Iran
nuclear programme. However, Pakistan is insisting upon Iran to
continue negotiations with EU to resolve the issue peacefully in
accordance with IAEA statute.
3. So far neither China nor India has expressed any reaction on Iran’s
nuclear programme.
US consider Iran and Syria, both Muslim countries, as tyrannical
states. In February 2005 US Secretary of State Ms Condoleezza Rice
warned Syria to stop its support to anti-Israel militants. US foreign
policy especially after re-election of Bush has been observed very
aggressive against the Muslim States, which are considered strong in
their area of influence or can pose threat to the Jewish state.
Regarding relations with Pakistan so far US has not recognised
Pakistan as a nuclear state and even expresses apprehensions of
nuclear weapons falling in the hands of fundamentalists and
extremists. Dr A Q Khan has been accused of passing nuclear technology
to ‘rogue’ states. US is strengthening Indian offensive capability by
sanctioning supply of F-18 fighters and latest missile defence system
Patriot Advanced Capability — (PAC-3). During Indian Defence Minister
Pranab Mukherjee’s visit to US on 28 June 2005 his counterpart Donald
Rumsfeld signed 10-years Defence Pact. The agreement includes
strengthening of defence capabilities of India especially in weapon
production, cooperation on missile defence and of transfer of nuclear
technology for peaceful purposes.
The above analysis vividly indicates US aggressive intentions on some
pretext against Iran. US at present is covertly aligning her allies
against Iran and looking for the opportunity to initiate the
offensive. Most probable hypothesis is that US would make Iran’s
nuclear development programme the pretext for launching offensive.
Under such an eventuality Russia would guard Iran’s interest to
pre-empt US intrusion towards CAS and Russia. Any offensive action of
US on Iran would amount to annexation of Gwadar Port and Karachi Port
for making a ‘bridge-head’. She would make safe access for India to
provide logistic support to the US forces. In this regard she would
neutralise Pakistan military capabilities through electronic jamming
and containing its troops through limited offensive on Eastern and
Western borders and to block and keep China away from the battlefield.
Both US and India know that any intrusion in Pakistan would invoke
China’s bitter reaction against them. All these reactions would result
into a world war.

In brief the big powers would make Iran, Afghanistan, Pakistan and
India as the battleground. In this scenario both India and Israel
would launch pre-emptive strike on Pakistan’s nuclear strongholds and
defence installations. As declared by Pakistan that any attempt on its
nuclear installation would amount to strong reaction against that
country. This reaction, under all possibility, would initiate nuclear
war. Both Russia and China would also react to guard their strategic
interests in Iran and Pakistan respectively. Initiation of nuclear
weapons would amount to mass destruction and elimination of most of
the global civilisation. Vast areas littered with human bodies would
serve as feast for the Gog Magog. Revelation of Gog and Magog is not a
fiction but a reality as revealed in the Holy Quran “Until the Gog and
Magog (people) are let through (their barrier) and they swiftly swarm
from every hill.” (21:96). Only Allah knows when and from where this
revelation would materialise.
