Iran is the biggest story of the moment.
It seems to be damned if you do, damned if you don't. I know about the campaigns to get the public drummed up for yet another war, but the thing is the Jihadist Wahabi sect of Islam is bent on bringing down the west. They know they have willing accomplices and apologist all over American and western media and take advantage of it.
OPEC is threatening dire economic consequences if there's an attack, which no doubt there would be, but since those nations just as well just as well see us crumble they may be saying those things to bide more time for Iran to get a nuke and use it.
Iran is pushing for a greater Persia in which Tehran is the center of it. Ahmjadinijad is on record on saying he'd sacrifice 50% of his population to drive every Jew into the sea. That is some gangsta shit right there. Are you willing to call his bluff?
