Unfortunately, too many give credence to the "hype more fear" concepts promoted by Rush Limbaugh, Fox News, and cited by UT. Therefore the many see no difference between those nations who fear for their defense verse those nations who promote terrorism. People such as UT see everything in terms of an attack on Israel rather than learn the numerous perspectives that intertwine the Middle East and SW Asia. UT goes so far as to all but deny the Muslim Brotherhood.

Iran has a nuclear weapons program that could have been stopped had America not outrightly threatened Iran. Before the "promote fear to promote our agenda" Vulcans came to power, then the US and Iran were slowly moving to become good friends again. A process that would take at least 20 more years to undo the hatred. As soon as the mental midget president announced his 'axis of evil' political agenda (an agenda based only upon objectives of the Project for a New American Century), then moderate Iranians (those could have been close American friends) were completely disenfranchised. Thanks to the mental midget president and those telling him how to think, then no hope existed for any Iranian friendly to the US to remain in power. Just another example of what long time American professional diplomats publically stated - this mental midget president has undone decades of work.

With the 'Axis of Evil' speech (where the intent to attack each nation was all but stated), then any source of nuclear weapons in Iran would have been immediately promoted to a number one priority. Obviously if a nation is threatened with attack, then that nation will empower their extremists and develop the most destructive weapons possible.

Is there any hope that this Iranian weapons program will be suspended? Once that was possible. No longer possible because George Jr has declared that we must save the world from itself. We have done everything necessary to inform Iran that we will attack. We called them the axis of evil using the same facts and reasoning that claimed WMDs in Iraq. We intentionally let our number one enemy - bin Laden - go free so that we could promote the Vulcan political agenda. We now surround Iran with military forces and a chain of new military bases. What sane person could deny the US will attack Iran. Of course we will - based upon a google of facts and the stated intentions by George Jr and his Vulcans.

Did we not unilaterally execute a Pearl Harbor attack on another sovereign nation that was a threat to nobody? Of course we did. Are those same leaders - with veins hanging from their teeth - still in power in the US? Of course. Can any other power or organization stop the US from unilaterally attacking Iran? No. Not one.

America under right wing extremist domination is so intent on fixing the world that we do so to the detriment of American reputation, security, and individual security everywhere in the world.

Iran's only hope to protect itself is to build nuclear weapons and delivery systems. Only American 'fear promoters' would even think Iran is preparing to attack Israel. These 'fear promoters' have the same ethics and mind set of the dichead - which is the reason why Intafada II exists. Such individuals create war and violence as proven by history.

Iran is next on the US attack list. I state this with the same certainty that posted these previous predictions. That Iraq would invade Kuwait creating a war that would involve every nation in the world. That the US would become militarily committed in the Balkans - that was obvious and inevitable. And that there was no evidence of WMDs nor justification to invade Iraq.

In each case, the statements were made due to a prepondence of fact and often in contradiction to current popular beliefs. To be consistent: if George Jr gets reelected, then we will attack Iran during the George Jr second administration. Right wing extremists have made their objectives quite clear and obvious. They have stated and intend to impose massive and permanent change to the Middle East and SW Asia. Next in line for that political agenda is the invasion of Iran. We are already positioned with capital facilities to attack from Afghanistan, Iraq, Turkey, Pakistan, and the many former USSR 'kstans where George Jr has an ongoing massive construction of new US military bases. Why all this military base construction? One need only review the agenda of the Vulcans and the objectives defined by "Axis of Evil".

No honest person with a shred of credibility could fault Iran for building nuclear weapons and delivery systems. They are literally next in line to be invaded and occupied by the US. An invasion defined and demanded by this Vulcan political agenda - pragmatism be damned.
