Iran says 'zero chance' of US attack

I wouldn't say there is zero chance but there is actually very little of one.

As long as the Iranians keep their cool and keep managing themselves as they have, the US and Israel will have to give up. Iran is not Iraq. Iraq was systematically weakened for over two decades prior to this attack/occupation/whatever you want to call it. American/Israel has attempted to systematically weaken Iran but has had only limited success (when you consider the severity of the sanctions they've endured since the revolution).

The US HAS attacked Iran indirectly in the past via Saddam Hussein and the Saudi war bloc REMEMBER? That was entirely not successful. This time around however they have rushed in to take what is being called "the El Salvador" option in Lebanon which they also resorted to after eight long years of allowing their attack dog (Saddam) to create misery and shed blood in Iran and amongst the Kurds. When that was unsuccessful, the miserable pack of monsters (US/Saudi/Israel) turned their sights on Lebanon. This time they've already started and I suspect hope to deflect interest away from their shocking defeat and humanitarian disaster in Iraq by fomenting unrest here. It is the same strategic plan but this time around, the Shi'i are even more steadfast and have much more support EVEN after a major crisis (the Israeli invasion last year).

Here in Lebanon and in the ME press, the expectation now is that the internal unrest is growing deeper and I say "expectation" because you can never really tell about the situation until the real leader talks and he ain't talkin' right now i.e. Sayed Nasrallah. Even the Christians here turn to him for their leadership and even those who hate him. He hasn't lied and the whole country knows he is in no way involved in the string of political assassinations. Even his enemies respect him you know...even Israel. There is growing fear that this unrest is leading up to either a military coup or worse yet, two entirely separate governments that will play tug of war and do it within the law here that actually allows for such a thing. It happened during the Civil War in fact that Lebanon split into two completely different governments.

And the last thing he (Nasrallah) stated publically to these MORONS in the Lebanese parliment is that he prefers fighting the Israelis because at least their type of warfare is up front and it is a known type of thing. He stated that the Lebanese politicians are a dirty pack of no goods (to paraphrase). And now, in true Shi'i style, he is remaining aloof and silent. This is an expected part of Shi'i war strategy...not to give up but to step back from the louts and let them get mired in their own mistakes, mishaps and backbiting.

So...not zero but actually quite small..the chance of an Iranian invasion or the like. A Lebanese civil war however is not completely out of the question. Alot depends on the will of the Lebanese people and their strong memory of the past and how much suffering it caused. As well, alot depends on the Palestinians here who last time were used by less than stellar characters in the Gulf to fan the flames of war.
