Just a reminder: The only real fear is fear itself.
Consider everything else suspect. Consider the ramifications of being said. And do not believe into the hype.

There will be no war with Iran. Not gonna happen.

2. So why live in fear?
Can you do anything about it?

Besides, life itself is a massive variable. And it's because of that, that we should enjoy every precious second given to us.

Yet life not so variable that if the PNAC'ers try to go after Iran, it will lead to far more than what they are reckoning for. And they will not want that because it will hurt them too. They've already seen the mistake Iraq was; and Iraq is a logical trial-run country.

3. Fear doesn't necessarily have to lead to some irrational action
Fear can alert and awaken us, prepare us to harden aganst the possibility of a disaster.

Do you really think that we are so fragile that we cannot both acknowledge and control our fears?
