Quote from TraderMojo:
You mean, if they are attacked, Iran will attack back? Unbelievable.
Sounds a little old-fashioned to me what with all of these pre-emptive strikes going on nowadays.
I don't think they got the memo: if they are attacked they should just sit there and take it.
Bush does not require any approval to conduct military action.Quote from ForexTrader1980:
