Mr . Daniel Johnson's is correct to state that British P.M. Brown is coming to visit George Bush atthe "wettest season" in Great Britain. Best time too in George Bush's tenure in the White House since Bush is wetting his pants now about his debacle in Iraq, and massive disillusionment at home about his sound warfare endearment.

Mr. Johnson's theory, though, that Mr. Brown and Bush will discuss massive attack on Iran's nuclear infrastructure to alleviate the U.S predicament in Iraq -by cutting the Iranian supplies tothe Iraqi insurgency - is base on his fantasy that the rain deluge in Great Britain came just in time as a U.S. and British bombing deluge against Iran is being finalised by Brown and Bush.

But fantasies are easy to make, wars are not. George Bush is looking on his rear view mirrorfor his past 2003 year fantasies about Iraq and see only rumbble and wreckage. And Mr. Brownis prime minister of Great Britain now because Tony Blair who became a George Bush poodlein 2003 was discredited like Nikita Kruschev after the Cuban Missile Crisis and was thrown into the heap of political oblivion. Tony Blair's Middle East appointment is jsut a handshake charade and nothing more.

Iran is ready for a possible U.S. attack, and when -and if comes - it will baptise Iran as the beacon ofthe Muslim world. The world won't see a U.S. -and I doubt British- attack in Iran like the attack to ancient Persia by Alexander the Great to punish Darius, eliminate the satraps and redistribute the land. It will be seen like an attack on Islam, or an attack to secure the Israeli nuclear monopoly in Middle East and maintain U.S. influence in the region. And is such an attack ever comes, it will be another Iraq-like folly by the U.S. that will cause more damage to us than to Iran.

Finally, it will unredeamably naive for anybody to think that a massive attack on Iran will leavethe oil fields in the Gulf unscathed. Wild destructions should be expected -on both Iranian and pro - U.S. regimes installations, and the results on our economy will be disastrous -if not catasptrophic. One folly in 2003 to attack Iraq was enough.
