Are Iranians sleepwalking into a disaster?

Never in the long history of Iran has a threat had such disastrous
potential as the current threat of US attack. In the past when the
Greeks, Arabs, Mongols, etc. raided, destroyed, divided the country, there
was always the potential for a strong leader to rise up in the future and
re-unify the land.

Never in the long history of Iran has a threat had such disastrous

re-unify the land.

Post US aerial bombardment of Iran (similar to the attack on Serbia)
central government will fall and every ethnic group will take their own
pound of flesh. The ensuing statelets will be busy squabbling and
fighting for generations to come and that's exactly what the US desires.

And the sad thing is that there won't be any possibility to reverse the
damage in the future, as the big bullies through the security council will
make sure of that.

For those who think, well that's not necessarily a bad thing, I ask if
this a good recipe why don't we have a broken up United Kingdom or
Switzerland (with united French, German and Italian nationals)? Why is
Europe becoming the United States of Europe?

Some may still believe in the US' honourable intentions! They only have
to look back at the post WW II history of the world to see that the US has
done its damnedest to destroy democracies and prop up dictatorships in the
developing world (Middle East, Africa, South and Latin America are all
dotted with the US' handiwork's).

I appeal to Iranians of every faith, ethnicity and political background to
wake up to this imminent threat and help the British public understand the
facts about Iran by engaging with the media and challenging their lies.
The British public should understand that there is no evidence of Iran
attacking another country within the last two hundred years. Even the
current political system with all its shortcomings has not attacked any
country during past 28 years. That's more than what can be said about the
UK and US within the same period.
