Point by Point...

ThePatriot-are you sure you're not simply replaying World War Two, but with a Iranian boogeyman? I have to respectfully ask because Iran is most certainly NOT Iraq-we haven't bombed, starved, and occupied Iran for the better of a generation. If they can take over a CIA stealth drone and land it on their territory, launch satellites, build fighter aircraft, main battle tanks, missiles, what else can they do?

We could collapse Iran's Islamic government by simply backing off and then support people who want Freedom with a proactive guerrilla/subversion strategy but that's the LAST thing the CFR crowd would do, they'd commit mass suicide first. Not a bad ideal there...

Breacher-the Militia Movement has no friends because they have no legitimacy to speak of, no "street cred", no political clout; something we've both agreed on. We couldn't attract any serious attention from a ME player if we collectively tried.

...Now, someone going on the offensive(HYPOTHETICAL, I KNOW IT WON'T HAPPEN)and they manage to stay free, that might be another matter and if that someone had such little regard that they'd shamelessly try to get Iranian support during wartime would rightfully be branded a traitor, even if he/she were fighting the beast. No support for a hostile foreign power at war with America can be tolerated.

This coming war with Iran is going to rain piss all over OWS, Ron Paul, and anyone who sees the US involvement in the ME as imperialism 2.0. Especially after the bodies are shipped home, oh you'd better not say the war was a bad ideal that'd be the equivalent of wiping your ass with the flag.

At least until someone manages to use nuclear weapons on American cities, then the war effort in general will collapse.

Now if, IF the collection of free zones, Free States, autonomous zones can coalesce into a common front and make gains however that happens there's a slim chance of restoring the Republic... provided someone thinks that's a bad enough ideal to lob nukes at us.

If there's the infighting, squabbling or subversion and gaming and that succeeds then we'd lose. I mean, imagine Mark Koernke's Michigan and Vanderboegh's Alabama being forced by the battlefield reality to cooperate-wanna lay odds the leadership of those two entities won't fuck that up? Or the libertarians of a Free State Wyoming deciding not to help funnel weapons to the previously mentioned states due to some ideological cunt hair disagreement? I see a disaster.
