Iran Petrol Protests Turn Violent In Tehran
At least five gas stations were set on fire by angry motorists in the Iranian capital, Tehran, today in protest against a government decision to begin rationing fuel. Long lines of cars formed at gas stations last night as people attempted to fill their gas tanks ahead of the midnight imposition of the rationing plan.
Eyewitnesses say motorists threw stones at some petrol stations and shouted slogans denouncing President Mahmud Ahmadinejad.
Similar incidents have been taking place in other Iranian cities, including Ahwaz, Esfahan, Kazaj, and Tabriz.
According to unconfirmed reports, a woman was killed today during violence outside a petrol station in Tehran.

There is a large faction in Iran that hates the goverment and how its run,. This rationing of what they have may be a turning point.

That PITA in Venezuela is having the same kind of problem according to CNN. His "oil men" don't know much about oil and are so corrupt that local refining is no concern to them. Just money.

Nope, Jonny, Iran does NOT have more gas than anybody on this planet. Yes, they do have oil and natural gas in abundance, but they import about 40% of the gasoline they use. At this point they don't have the refining capacity they need to produce what gasoline the country needs,

No, we'll still have to deal with Iran's goverment and their soon ability to produce nuclear weapons. Their president cannot be allowed to be in charge of a bomb. Even if that means an all out war and invasion. The US won't allow it and neither will Israel.
UNsolved
BTW, Iran's president has said that Iran will be out of oil in about 30 years.

They have oil but can't refine it. They import a bunch of gas, now they are in bed with Chavez.

The US military is already seriously overextended in Iraq (yesterday's CNN.com) and that is causing serious problems for the US troops-virtually back to back tours of duty there are a strain on the troops, their families and the resources needed to support them (cost to US since the invasion appx. 500 billion dollars). An invasion of Iran is not possible logistically and the US cannot sustain its occupation of Iraq AND go to war with Iran. You would have to reinstate the draft and put the US in an economic situation similar to WWII-rationing of food, gas, oil, etc. I do not think that Mr. Bush or the Houses of Congress would go down that path, nor would the people of the US, the majority of whom now want to get your troops out of Iraq, support such an invasion (and the US economy would be seriously damaged as well). Aside from, perhaps, token amounts of troops from some allies, the US would be alone; with Brown now in charge in the UK, British troops will probably be either withdrawn or reduced to a symbolic presence in Iraq within the next year or so. Let the Iranian people take care of their incompetent leadership themselves; any outside invasion, US or anyone else, would unite that country and it would be a very, very bloody war.

And where do you get this idea?
Do you really think that we don't feel threatened too?
Have you forgotten the bombings here?
About the only troops in the UK are those on ceremonial duties such as changing the guard etc and make no mistake - they are REAL soldiers. Most of our military are abroad be it in Northern Ireland, Nato peace-keeping positions, Cyprus, Germany, Bosnia, Afghanistan and the middle East and you can be damn sure I've left plenty of other places out. We are a small country, we don't have the capacity for huge volumes of troops but one thing we don't do is leave our allies backs uncovered. We never have. The US and the UK are probably the closest allies there are and that isn't about to change.
If you are going to make statements like this please have something with which to back up your scaremongering CRAP.
edited to add: Why don't you take note of the "Bomb defused in Central London" thread and then tell me again Brown will pull out?

Hmmmm. The majority of the UK electorate want our troops out of Iraq. That is one of the main reasons why Blair is no longer PM. I doubt whether Brown will immediately withdraw our troops, but he will start doing it... He has an election just around the corner.
The "liberation of Iraq" has been an unmitigated disaster for all those involved. Regardless of the way it is described, a withdrawl is the only option.

See Buzz's post...that is the reality of the chance that the UK troops will remain in Iraq-a democracy cannot fight a war when the majority of its citizens don't support the war. Bush got the US into Iraq by lying-well proven by now, even stated by Colin Powell who justified the US invasion then later discovered that he had been lied to by Bush, Cheney and company. The troops there are caught up in a civil war and that, dear lady, is an untenable position to be in. The coalition got rid of Suddam and Company, set up the operational structure for a democracy and should now leave and let the various factions fight for power-and I'll bet that the end result will not be a democratic government. It is time to cut losses-how many more young men and woman must die or be wounded or maimed to support an unpopular, corrupt government that wouldn't be there were it not for the foreign troops? Unless the US and Britain, the main Western players, want to commit virtually all of their troops and be willing to remain in Iraq for a decade or so, they cannot "win". The rivalries between the Sunnis and the Shihites go back over a thousand years and Western troops are not going to make it go away.
Regarding the bomb difused in London, I do not think that that will affect Brown's position about bringing your troops home. There is a case to be made that the reason for the bomb(s) and plots to plant bombs in the US and UK is because we are in Iraq.

I guess you are privy to information that the rest of the world is not privy to...Or is it that you have repeated your wish often enough that is carved in granite trough to you. As far as cut and run, just what do you think will happen in Iraq if all troups departed? You think maybe it might become another Afganistan except this time the terrorists would control vast resources of oil.
Yea, bring the troups home and the terrorists woun't hate us anymore.....LOL

I 100% agree! As long as we are over there, they are not over here....the ignorance of a "cut and run" attitude is that the US will be overrun and anyone who says we should "let iraq fight for themselvs", obviously doesn't know anyone on the military fighting this war...its more than just a war with iraq, against iran or controling oil....its fighting terrorism and I belive the ONLY place to fight this war is on their soil....NOT over in the US, if we "cut and run" they will find a way to get to us over here and we will be in a state of marshal law I believe....yeah, we have a right to carry guns here, but they don't do much good against car bombs and planes flying into buildings....

Who is going to "over run" the US and how are they going to get there? A fleet of dhows or will they charter airliners and fly over (first class, of course)?

Jonny is our resident "tough guy" who never served in the military but is more than willing to have others serve and get wounded or lose their lives.
The best response to him is to ask him why he never volunteered to serve in the military. His knowledge of world events consists of material that he gets from "UTube" which is as objective as a Tube Steak is fit for a meal (perhaps it is fit for him?).
