We must invade Ira(q-n) before they kill us all.

We are all going to die.

A FALLOUT-SHELTER FUTURE? Better dust these off.

Putz's here-come-the-nukes link is to NRO's Stanley Kurtz, in full-on Chickenhawk Little mode:

Sometime between now and five-to-ten years from now we’re going to be forced to choose between preemptive war with Iran, and living in a post-proliferation world. War with Iran will probably mean casualties on American soil. Iran has likely placed terrorist agents in the United States, with instructions to retaliate against civilian targets in the event of war. We’ll also likely see attacks on Persian Gulf oil shipments, and therefore a huge spike in the price of gasoline, with major economic consequences.

Something about this sounds oddly familiar...

A nuclear-armed Saddam taking over Kuwait and threatening Saudi Arabia leaves us with a choice between ceding him control of the world's oil supply, or of seeing that supply destroyed and contaminated for decades by a nuclear strike, sending the world's economy into radical shock, perhaps for years.

I think "foreign policy experts" that make wildly inflammatory doomsday predictions that turn out to be completely wrong should no longer be considered experts.
