Lets hope that it doesn't come to this, but keep in mind that the will of the people are not followed by the governments of the middle east. Lines are being drawn and politics dictates that the war is faught and won even before the first shot is fired. Meaning the US will secure aggreements with everyone in the middle east to ensure everyone stays in line. Mayhem will not break out, Israel can't afford that.

Pridicting World war 3 is a bite of a reach. There would be no other Arab country who would get involved, so it would be 3 ring circus. (USA, Israel and Iran) You said 'we" would attack, is this "we" meaning Armenia or United states. Armenia has no business attacking Iran. As an Armenian, first comes the safty of Armenia and Armenians. As I posted earlier, Lets hope for peace becuase any other way, Armenians will get hurt. You, Me and the rest of the understanding world does not like what Israel is doing to the Palentinians but what does that have to do with this topic?

Long gone are the days of the Spartans and Alexander the Great. If we wait for "todays" Greeks, then nothing will get done. Look at Cyprus. There are more GReeks living outside of Greece then inside of Greece. If they really wanted to put the pressure on Turkey they could, but they don't have the national pride as US!! We will get back our Lands on our own and if any country wants their revenge against the Turks they can join us, but stay out of our way!

We have Armenians living in Israel and we have Armenians living in Iran, no matter who strikes first, Armenians will get hurt in this war. We also got hurt in the Bombing of Iraq. When Israel bombed Beriut, Armenia provided Armenians living in Lebanon safe passage to Armenia. Its seems that no matter what country you pick in the Middle East Armenians will be caught in the crossfire. Lets hope that for the sake of Armenian lives, USA or Israel will not attack Iran. If it does, here is what I think will happen, Iran will fire back a few missles for good faith but then the storm will pass and things will go back to normal. (Normal for the middle east) There is a major difference between saying you will fight and actually fighting and also a big difference between fighting for your homeland (being invaded) and just being bombed without the fear of losing land.

very interesting comments have been posted on this topic. In the end I would hope that we are all saying the same thing. ONE ARMENIA! Which means - Artsakh, Masis, Nakhichevan, Sassoun, Van, Ani, Moush.....etc) Armenians have always been out numbered by our neighbors. Today there is 70 Million Turks, 8 Million Azeris (Tartars), and 25 million Kurds. In Armenia we have 3M and say another 3M in Disapora. Armenians have seen nations come and go and yet we have survived. We have always been out guned, out maned and out funded, but yet we are still Alive! Its not becuase we know the "routes" or becuase some forign country has provided use with some help, its becuase We are Armenian and we fight for our Love of our Land and for the love of Each other. Put a gun in the hand of on Armenian and he/she will defend their family and land against 100 Turks/Azeri's and will win. Now we have entered the world of politics and I am going to repeat a quote from General Dro " Politics is a market of Gains". We only have friends if there is something for them to gain. There is no friends in politics, we can only trust and count on EACH other. The survival of Armenia is with US. We must invest in Armenia, Support Armenia with funding, with education, with labor, with soliders ......... etc. A world without Armenia is a world that does not exsist.
