Why US should attack Islamic Iran now ???

Optional Scenarios if the USA does not exterminate the Mullah Jihadis of Iran now - Loss of face in front of the world.
- Impression amongst Allies that the US is not going to be consistent and decisive in the war against terror.
- Al Qaeda and other Terrorist organisations will be emboldened to strike the US in a way that would be even more devastating than 9/11.
- The Mullah Jihadis will gloat over their second survival after the first one when they attacked the US embassy in Tehran and held the diplomats hostage for years
- They will go full steam ahead with their nuclear program.
After developing nuclear weapons the Mullah Jihadis will extend their co-ordination with Islamic terrorist organizations.
- They will be emboldened to be less circumspect with their, so far tacit, links with Al Qaeda (remember their giving refuge to Mohammed bin laden (Osama's son) and other Al Qaeda thugs) .
- They will be emboldened to finance terrorist strikes more openly across the globe (remember their financing of the Hezbollah in Lebanon).
- They will be emboldened to strike the US surreptitiously with more chemical weapons (remember the Anthrax attacks in 2001).
- Other Islamic terror sponsoring states like Sudan and Syria, will also be emboldened to defy and strike at the US and the West.
- It would be a psychological defeat for the West in general, and for the USA in particular, and a psychological victory for terrorism.

So folks, make your choice.

Since taking office, Iranian President Mahmud Ahmadinejad has wasted little time in molding the Iranian government in his own extremist image, a process which started with the appointment of Ali Larijani as Iran's chief nuclear negotiator. Larijani, a former commander in the Iranian Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) and a close advisor to Ahmadinejad, possesses impeccable extremist credentials and is a favorite of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei. Supposedly a diplomat, Larijani is evidently not a fan of tactful parlance, recently declaring, "We have bloodthirsty foes like the United States and Israel who could attack us with all they have. So, why should we deny ourselves any category of weapons just to please the savage European powers?"

This much for Iran's peaceful intentions for its nuclear project!

And so in the light of Iran's open pursuit of nuclear technology and declaration of belligerent intent, President George Bush has issued a strident new warning to Iran hinting at the consequences. "This behavior is completely unacceptable," he said during a press conference at his ranch in Crawford, Texas.

Mr Bush said that Iran was undermining the push for peace in the Middle East, which is delicately poised after promising overtures last month.

Iran's nuclear ambitions are looming particularly large over the region. Israel warned yesterday that Iran "is trying everything" to get a nuclear weapon, and that if it succeeded it would threaten a far wider theatre than just the Middle East.

The Mullah Jihadis are also quietly and meticulously planning a fifth column in the Western World, as another front of their asymmetric warfare. It is high time the US and the West opened its eyes to the happenings around them and give up the delusion they would not have to fight their forthcoming war against Islamic Iran. The Mullah Jihadis are getting ready for it. The world needs to learn that whenever they had their way the Jihadis have moved through an unsuspecting and ill-prepared victim nation like a hot knife through butter; now if human civilization is to be saved, then it is high time for that butter to turn into lava so as to melt the knife of the Islamic Jihad. A knife whose edge is today being given a nuclear edge at Isfahan, Bushehr and Natanz.

Conclusion : USA led Allied Coalition must attack and crush Iranian Mad Mullah Ayatullah regime militarily now.
