Will the United States invade Iran in 2009?
Osiris ( Score Rank: User did not make predictions in the last 30 days ) Osiris  |  will close on 31-Dec-2009 (393 days from now)
- The States has spent 5 trillions to undertake Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae;
- The States has spent 85 billions to safe AIG;
- Most likely that the States will spend another 700 billions to bailout the market.

To compensate these expense, the States will most likely trigger conflict between countries. This will ensure a good sales in the big destructive weapons.

If the States takes down Iran, first of all it will bring USA with oil.

Conflicts between Middle East countries will get worse. Moreover, terrorism will arise that may lead countries to protect themselves by importing weapons. This will directly help out the States.

After the war, USA will also benefit from new business projects and redevelopment plans like what were happening in Afghanistan and Iraq.

    The logic above is insane, but common. The US is unlikely to start a third front in Iran as it would further strain relations with other countries, and while I am not sure I care about what other countries think, I know that the people who run this country do. (god help us)

    Further, Iraq was a directorship while Iran does have elections. If America becomes involved in Iran it will be in a low profile way. This includes, insurrections, revolts, revolutions, or good ond civil unrest. Why fight a war if you don't have to?

    1: Too much risk of destabilising the entire region, especially since network access is looking to secularise the country anycase.
    2: Too expensive. The first war propped up the american economy the first time around, but now there are too many things broken for it to work a second time.

    I predict: the U.S. will only damage in the mid-future its economy , if it the bailout is approved in a way that corporate CEO`s that are guilty of mis-management are not punished

    I sure hope not. It would be a global disaster. And the US would be almost isolated in the political realm. Not a good position to be in the long run, and feeding the oil addiction will certainly hurt down the road.

    Pointless death in the name of such things would certainly kill the new president's popular support. The one thing we have going here is the fact that the election is coming up and nobody is willing to risk it so soon.

    I think the result is in part determined by the results of the presidential election. McCain is more likely to use warfare to switch the attention for a poor economy, while Obama has just too much at stake if he turns around and starts a war after preaching of pulling out both in Afghanistan and Iraq...

    That said, the leadership in Iran will also dictate how the US act - if Iran continues its work in "developing nuclear power" while other countries genuinely believe they are working on nuclear weapons, the US may strike regardless of who is the president.

    If it happens, McCain or Obama will eat their words during election.
