Interesting theory on how the Bush administration could get their war on Iran
even though most of congress is a "No" on a direct war. By use of an "accidental" war.

Make me wonder about how many past "accidental" wars were in fact planned.
I have read books on WWI suggesting that several fugures in the German high command
wanted a war in 1914 rather than later when Russia would be to strong to beat and
that they encouraged Austro-Hungry to push Serbia to war that led to WWI
