The Bush-Cheney administration, as the Iraq war proved, is full of  
mad, irrational people, and there is no way to account for them. But  
not everyone in Washington thinks like them, especially in the  
military, and those on Wall Street who have the most to lose from a  
war have great political influence. We are obligated to count on them  
because that is they way the U.S. has operated for decades. According  
to an article in Salon, Sept. 28, “the military would revolt and  
there would be no pilots to fly those missions” were it ordered to  
war against Iran. Without them, there is no danger. The American  
public is a small factor, as elections have repeatedly shown, but may  
play some role also. But the U.S. fights wars and loses most of them.  
The U.S. is very likely to lose a war with Iran if it fights. It  
probably will not.
