If we bomb Iran, what will be the publics reaction.

First, let me say it looks like a bombing campaign is being planned, but no invasion. So if we do bomb, bomb, bomb, bombiran.
Will the American public rally behind President Cukoobananas, or be horrified and rebel against the Bush/Cheney war machine.
I really don't know, I would hope the public shouts out in protest, but I don't have faith that they will. There is a tendency in time of war (even a trumped up, criminal war) for public support to go to the leader, at least at the begining (Of course, this is why Cheney's reasoning that bombing Iran will cause the people to turn against Ahmadinejad is so full of shit.).
What are all your thoughts on this.

except us! They're all too busy shopping and working

Meh from the General public, and cheers from the peanut gallery.

fury from the rest of the planet except Israel.

I'm pretty sure that this is the goal of BushCheneyCrimeInc.

Create chaos, as they did in Iraq. Its easier to steal and pillage in a state of chaos.

The DAMN CONGRESS had better do SOMETHING before the CRIMINALLY INSANE have a chance to act!

The media will do the same that it did before the Iraq invasion
and people will buy it.

My only hope is that Russia/China will get involved and maybe stop it.

A year or two down the line they'll blame Democrats for being shy on stopping the insanity and vote Republican again.

I hope so too, and since Bush has proclaimed such thoughts as criminal I guess I'll see you in the gulags. :hi:

which is why they are ramping up the GOP echo machine.

If the other 70% went out in the streets, Cheney and the media will just ignore them just as they did for the millions in the streets against the Iraq invasion.

war for him. The assault and occupation were festooned with pleasant sloganeering ("bringing freedom and democracy to the Middle East") and testosterone-charged macho posturing ("Dead or alive" / "Bring it on").

Four thousand U.S. soldiers' lives later there's very little to show for Mr. Bush's effort and I think people in Pendleton, Indiana and Grey Bull, Wyoming and Beulah, Michigan have had about enough of the bullshit.

There's no critical mass of gullible people remaining for Bush to manipulate into public support for another attack on yet another country.

Most people believe what they see on TV. Iran is killing American military personnel, Iran is destabilizing Iraq, Iran is launching attacks in Iraq. People react viscerally to the news that our soldiers are being attacked. With the right PR campaign, people will cheer the attack.

How did the German population react when Hitler invaded Russia?

think Carter should have done it in 79. So after the news at 6, the news at 11 will be back to some celeb going to rehab.

1. If there is another "attack" before the bombing, it will be blamed solely on Iran without evidence and retribution will happen within 24 hours. The public will see the administration as its protector.

2. If no attack, the public will be like 1991 when *'s father went into Kuwait. It will just reflexively trust the administration to know what's best and to do it.

3. Only a relatively small segment of us "malcontents" will be screaming bloody murder for either scenario one or two. Congress will go along for fear of being called unpatriotic. Plus, how many of them really believe in the Constitution and the War Powers Act -- not to mention being called hypocrites b/c so many of them signed off on the Enabling Act, allowing * to go into "the region" to "protect America".

... That's how we got in this mess in the first place.
