I don't see Iran doing that counter move. I am also not convinced bombing all suspected sites is the right counter move, unilaterally or otherwise. Why shouldn't the Muslim world just see those who would do that as tools of the Israelis - who have lots of nuclear weapons. This seems relevant - "[NeoCons] want Bush to expand the war, broaden the theater of operations, multiply our enemies, and ignore our allies. If Bush should adopt this strategy, it would be America and Israel against the Arab and Islamic world with Europe neutral and almost all of Asia rooting for our humiliation." -- Patrick J. Buchanan, The American Conservative, 3/1/04 "Iraq is just one battle in a larger war, bringing down the regime in Iran is the central act, because Iran is the world's most dangerous terrorist country." -- Michael Ledeen of the American Enterprise Institute-the de facto headquarters for neoconservative policy, quoted in NeoCon 101, csmonitor.com Gary Denton - Pax Americana Dissident Maru #1 on google for Pax Americana Lemming
