		<description>Go ahead, push for Iran&#039;s invasion. Just three little problems:

1) The sleeper cells, purposely ignored by the FBI even when spotted eating at Denny&#039;s in Colorado (FBI arrived 2 HOURS LATER and didn&#039;t even collect evidence) will probably melt a dozen major US cities the second we invade.

2) Russia is already prepping for war with the US/Nato over what it see as the West&#039;s effort to cut off Russian oil pipelines via the Caucasus and Iran. The Russians feel like they&#039;re trapped by their former satellites which are now allowing US access to their bases. Let&#039;s not forget it&#039;s the Russians investing in the Bushehr nuclear program.

3) China&#039;s military will not appreciate America&#039;s effort at undermining the $200 BILLION energy deal it has with Iran. If that goes up in smoke, guess what they&#039;ll do?  DUMP THE DOLLAR, and then we&#039;ll see hyperinflation - on top of the nuclear annihilation of the US.

Good job, GOP and Dems! &gt;:(
We&#039;re screwed.
Israel already has the bomb and must be forced to develop a missile shield; Israel must defend herself. With the border open to terrorists, it&#039;s just too late to act brash and invade w/o causing a holocaust in America.

		<description>America continues to sleepwalk into a very scary future.  Most of the public has not a clue that the world is changing very rapidly and very negatively.  Anecdotally, my boat partner, a nice, reasonably intelligent guy, and I got into a discussion about American politics and Iraq last Saturday as we worked on the boat.  It turns out that we both like Giuliani, but for different reasons.  I see Giuliani as strong on defense and view his support of the Iraq war as a positive.  My partner likes him, but thinks his support of the war is a negative, and sees it as costing him more votes in the general election than it will get him.  My partner thinks that we should get out of Iraq right now, despite the fact that his son in law, who thinks more along my lines and with whom he has conversed, returned last November from a year patrolling the streets of Baghdad.  My boat partner fails to see any adverse consequences to capitulation in Iraq.  Indeed, he fails to see withdrawal as capitulation and thinks we can go merrily on our way to &quot;concentrate our fight&quot; on what he calls &quot;the real enemy&quot;, al-qaida, in Afghanistan.  He fails to see that capitulation will have all kinds of negative consequences far beyond Iraq.

Sleeper cells?  I would be surprised if they were not here.  Hopefully our intelligence operatives have some kind of handle on them.  Sadly, I am now convinced that we, as a nation, will continue our sleepwalk until there is another mass slaughter of some sort perpetrated by some radical islamic group.  A nuked Las Vegas or San Francisco just might get our attention.  Perhaps the activation of Iranian proxies (awakening Hezbollah sleeper cells?) will awaken our body politic from its somnambulence before some jihadi wretches are able to perpetrate the next big act of terrorism.  Perhaps not.

		<description>The real question is, &quot;Does the US have sleeper cells in any other country?&quot;

And the answer is,,&quot;We would never do anything like that!!&quot;

		<description>I agree with Sue the cells are in the USA.  I also believe the Persian community in the US is also very much aware of Iranian cells and is very much involved in exposing them to the federal authorites.  At lest I hope so...

		<description>That is precisely the point:  so what? Not until our heads are floating down the bloodied street like a Katrina flood will anyone pay attention or do anything about it.  So, so what indeed!  We have become a nation of profounds full of hatred for one another if you are left or blind if you are right. We get the politicians we voted for and we will get the future we are deciding on today.

		<description>To elaborate on Sue&#039;s reply, Yes, and so what?  Iran has been attacking us and our interests for almost 30 years now.  It&#039;s been a 30 year war, but only one side has been fighting.

		<description>I tend to think like a novelist--so, for instance, not only do I still think Sadaam had WMDs, I think it&#039;s about the only thing he lived for.  I just don&#039;t think it&#039;s feasible for an evil dictator to be obsessed with, say, orchids.  (In Hollywood this would be considered a brilliant portrayal against character.)  No, if you&#039;re an evil dictator you get up in the morning thinking about how to accumulate power, how to eliminate your many enemies, and how  to apply new technology to terrorize your populace. And you think about this all day while staring at your portraits in the public square and watching the news about how saintly you are.

Regarding Iran.  Of course they have sleeper cells in the US.  They are  now and have been since 1979, unfortunately, a highly skilled terrorist organization.  They have shown over and over that they can do pretty much whatever they want and suffer no consequences.  They are expert strategists, and they are astute analysts of the psychology and traits of their enemies.  They would be incompetent if they didn&#039;t have US sleepers.  They&#039;re anything but incompetent.

It&#039;s like asking whether Barry Bonds will be holding a baseball bat the next time he comes to plate during  a regular season game.
