 Oxford Think Tank: A Strike on Iran Could BackfirePosted on Mar 5, 2007
Nuclear experts from the Oxford Research Group have some words of advice for world leaders about their future dealings with Iran. Scientist Frank Barnaby, who co-authored the think tank’s report, warned that pre-emptive military action “could speed Iran’s progress to a nuclear bomb.”

The pendulum is swinging too far out. Greed controls, government, religon, and corporations. Mother nature and God may reset it all. If it is not too late, it is getting very close to being too late. Think tanks of greed have more appliers than those of balance. Where are the saviors of ourselves. They have been too slient, too long.

Think Tank thought of that huh?? Wow. I couldv’e saved everybody money and told you the same thing. =\
Now if we could just get the Bushies to start with the premise of “thinking” about something for once we’d all be in a better place.

Logical and reasonable conclusions about the agenda to attack Iran and other acts of aggression will probably fall on deaf ears among the Bush-Cheney administration neocons, warmongers, war profiteers and chicken hawks.
Many of them seem to want expanded war up to and including a “World War III.”
For many of them, the invasion and occupation of Iraq was not the end, but only the beginning.
Continued or expanded war will play right into the hands of the Bush-Cheney neocons, warmongers, war profiteers and chicken hawks.

To the “Oxford Think Tank”: What if the US and Israel bomb Iran Nation so hard that turn them back to their Stone Age, then would they be able to continue their nuclear program and achieve their nuclear bombs in few years or maybe few thousand years? Maybe you should recall yourself the “Oxford Think Big Tank” huh?
