Assume, suppose, hypothesize with me for a moment.
The Pentagon sits about and thinks, schemes, plays mind exercises all the time. War games.
So, out of hand, do not respond that this is impossible and will not happen. Just entertain the thought that it indeed does happen.
With me so far?
Good.
It is now May 2008.
1. Terror attack in US of fairly significant size. Say 2 "dirty" bombs simultaneously explode, one in San Fancisco and another in Miami. 5,000 die and 40,000 people contaminated with moderate to low levels of radiation. Panic ensues.
2. We are "informed" that it was not Al Qaida, but Hamas, backed by Iran who did this to us.
3. We go to war with Iran.
4. Elections in the United States are postponed during this crisis.

OK, that's the scenario. It's happened. Then what?
Do people "rally round the flag" and support new aggression in Iran? Do they accept suspension, temporarily of course, of elections? Are there 10,000,000 protesting on the Mall in Washington like Tienamen Square?
Play the sequence of events out in your mind. What logical conclusions come to mind? When A>B>C do we go to E or L or Y?
