My bets on when the war starts? Either midnight Eastern tomorrow night or 7:59 p.m. Eastern on Thursday night. Why? Thursday is the first day of Spring and we love to do Spring cleaning and 7:59 p.m. is the beginning of the Iranian new year. Symbolic, no? Most Iranians would be happy to see Saddam go. After all, he killed a million Iranians. But, don’t expect celebrations. My wife tells me often “you can’t understand the horrors of war. You’ve never had your house bombed.” Plus, it’s accepted that we’ll be going after Iran’s nuclear capabilities after we’re done with Saddam. [The Scobleizer Weblog]
