What Will You Do If the U.S. Attacks Iran?
http://rawstory.com/news/2007/Former_CIA_agent_US_to_attack_0821.html

At first I thought all the rumors flying around about us attacking Iran were just political rhetoric. But now I am starting to believe it could be true. My question is this?
If Bushco launches a preemptive strike on Iran - what action will you take?

By the way, I think we all should be asking this question of our Senators and Congrescritters.

2. Great question
I offer a passive response to your question. I'll sit back and watch the slow, torturous end of the republican party, and probably, out of the corner of my eye, see a planeful of bush adminstration officials flying off to Paraguay. Oh, and before that, one might see angry, armed Admirals and Generals marching from the Pentagon to the White House.

11. Hey Boss
That is a good question, I know what I would do, but will other people do the same thing
will they just let this administration run our Country to a revolution?
Because that is what will happen I think.

:hi:

3. I think we should take the lesson
of de-Baathification and hold our local Republican party responsible, maybe protests at their offices or homes of officials, etc.

4. I'd be more inclined to say when instead of if.
In Bush's mind it's a necessity and he's creating a scenario now that the Dems probably won't be able to counter.

5. First , I'll cry at the thought of the death and suffering to come
Second , create a sign for my front yard expressing my
dissent.

Third , find an outlet to publicly protest the war with
other people.

12. Stock up on potassium iodide
It helps protect against some of the effects of radioactive iodine created via nuclear fallout.

Seriously, the USA attacks Iran, expect major problems.

14. since I have draft age sons
and I can't see how they'll be able to follow that course without eventually instituting a draft, I'll be preparing for a way to get my sons out without using public transportation. This is an open offer to the parents of draft age children...if they ever institute a draft and you need help, pm me...I will be ready and prepared to help others.

21. Be sure to collect some addresses and phone numbers
of Canadians willing to help. There must be lots of us. We have harboured lots of dissident Americans from the beginnings of our joint histories.We are still here for you! Lots of Americans on this side of the border too. Don't hesitate.

15. Go to any demonstrations that are organized.
Other than that, probably nothing. The vast majority will DO nothing whatsoever.

18. What *can* anyone do?
Hardly anyone listens to what we have to say. Those few who do are not listened to by the people who have the real power. The media marginalizes and smears us.

What can we do other than weep for the lives needlessly snuffed out by the evil agenda of this administration?

19. I'll go buy a Superman costume, then I'll take off and fly counter clockwise
around the world until we go back in time to the day Bushitler was selected preznit and do a mind meld on all the Supremes so they choose Gore instead of the stupid monkeyboy...

The *real* question should be "What are you going to do BEFORE the US attacks Iran?"

People NEED to be in the streets protesting every day..

I'll want to fill up immediately to beat the horrendous price increases and beat the inevitable rationing. Next I'll go to supermarket and buy as much canned food as possible.

25. I will go eat at an Iranian Restaurant.
Then I will go eat an Iraqi restaurant.
Then I will eat an Afghanistan restaurant.
Then Bosnian,
Then Russian (Cold Dishes only),
Then Vietnamese
Then Korean,
Then German,
Then Japanese (love that sushi).

Not all at once as I'm not that hungry but I would hope to understand the culture better. Peace.
