Note: A move to a new society that is connected by wires, instead of having to be in direct contact all the time? In "The Tipping Point" Malcolm Gladwell mentions that humans can only have deep relationships with about 250 people at a time before they start becoming cold to other people. Perhaps it is possible to get the benefit of quality of life that comes from small town life while keeping work opportunities of bigger cities using the internet for working. But not all work can be outsourced. This could also end up with people becoming less competitive and the U.S. losing out economically, as there will always be foreigners who can do things cheaper.

The Iran Situation
If we do attack Iran, then it won't be like in Iraq. Iran has it's own trained military and is a mountainous country. It would seem from older articles that if action is taken it will be a war via sea and air.
However, the command structures of the Airforce and Navy are much more bureaucratic, and use 2nd generation warfare tactics. Whereas in the current conflict Marines and Special Forces have adapted to the insurgents tactics by decentralizing themselves and their command structure; fighting a 3rd generation war without the strong hierarchy that takes too long to react. Combine this with the fortitude of the Iranian's spirits and we'd have a hard war on our hands, unless the military can adapt. We may not lose the war if it starts, but it will bog us military down even more and stretch it out far too much, leaving us open on the home front. Our homefront infrastructures are not secure enough.
Some history:
Navy Admiral Goes to CENTCOM: Be Very Afraid

Russian admiral predicts impending US strike against Iran

"So far, audits of spending in Iraq have covered only 10 percent of the contracts, Waxman said in a Jan. 31 interview. ``What we know from the audits is that perhaps billions of dollars may not be accounted for,'' he said.
Waxman's report said as much as $12.7 billion in cash from the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, sent to Iraq during Bremer's watch between May 2003 and June 2004, was unaccounted for."

"I think we have to start thinking about a war on terrorism tax," the independent Connecticut lawmaker said. "I mean people keep saying we're not asking a sacrifice of anybody but our military in this war and some civilians who are working on it.""When you put together the (Pentagon) budget and the Homeland Security budgets, we need to ask people to help us in a way that they know when they pay more it will go for their security," he said during a Senate panel hearing on the defense budget request.
Bush on Monday asked Congress to approve $700 billion in new military spending and to curb many domestic programs. The request includes $245 billion for the Iraq and Afghanistan wars between now and late 2008.

"A new congressional report says the increase of 21,500 combat troops for Iraq proposed by the Bush administration could result in up to 50,000 troops actually being deployed to the region.
The report from the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office bases that projection on the fact that the Bush plan is unclear about whether the 21,500 troops needed to quell violence are all combat troops or if that number already includes support forces."

Think Your Doctor Knows Best? Think Medical Science is on Your Side? Think again!
http://avanoo.wordpress.com/2007/01/22/us-citizens-would-be-healthier-and-live-longer-lives-if/
"The average life expectancy in the United States is 77.85 years, which ranks forty-sixth highest in the world. Among the countries with higher life expectancies are Guam and Puerto Rico, both of which are under U.S. control, but don't have nearly the same "quality" of health care that is provided in U.S. states.
Per capita, more centenarians (people 100 or over) live in Dominica, a small third-world Caribbean island, than anywhere else. Most of them live active, rural lifestyles and have little or no access to Western medicine or health care.
How is it that the United States, which spends more money on health care than any other country, isn't able to compete with third world countries and territories that don't have nearly the same access to modern conveniences, modern medicines, or modern treatments?"

Think Your Doctor Knows Best? Think Medical Science is on Your Side? Think again!
http://avanoo.wordpress.com/2007/01/22/us-citizens-would-be-healthier-and-live-longer-lives-if/
"The average life expectancy in the United States is 77.85 years, which ranks forty-sixth highest in the world. Among the countries with higher life expectancies are Guam and Puerto Rico, both of which are under U.S. control, but don't have nearly the same "quality" of health care that is provided in U.S. states.
Per capita, more centenarians (people 100 or over) live in Dominica, a small third-world Caribbean island, than anywhere else. Most of them live active, rural lifestyles and have little or no access to Western medicine or health care.
How is it that the United States, which spends more money on health care than any other country, isn't able to compete with third world countries and territories that don't have nearly the same access to modern conveniences, modern medicines, or modern treatments?"

"It appeared to be the largest number of key officers and command sergeants killed in a single incident since the Iraq war started nearly four years ago."
"The attackers traveled in black GMC Suburban vehicles (the type used by U.S. government convoys), had American weapons, wore new U.S. military combat fatigues, and spoke English, according to two senior U.S. military officials as well as Iraqi officials."
"Iraqi officials said the approaching convoy of black GMC Suburbans was waved through an Iraqi checkpoint at the edge of the city. The Iraqi soldiers believed it to be American because of the type of vehicles, the distinctive camouflage American uniforms and the fact that they spoke English. One Iraqi official said the leader of the assault team was blond, but no other official confirmed that."
"A senior Iraqi military official said the sophistication of the attack led him to believe it was the work of Iranian intelligence agents in conjunction with Iraq's Shiite Mahdi Army militia, which Iran funds, arms and trains."

"WASHINGTON (Reuters)- When radio host Jerry Klein suggested that all Muslims in the United States should be identified with a crescent-shape tattoo or a distinctive arm band, the phone lines jammed instantly.
The first caller to the station in Washington said that Klein must be "off his rocker." The second congratulated him and added: "Not only do you tattoo them in the middle of their forehead but you ship them out of this country ... they are here to kill us."
Another said that tattoos, armbands and other identifying markers such as crescent marks on driver's licenses, passports and birth certificates did not go far enough. "What good is identifying them?" he asked. "You have to set up encampments like during World War Two with the Japanese and Germans."
