Israel Provides the Final Excuse
The Bsh Administration has been rumbling for war against Iran. They have used the nuclear issue to stir up the public in support of action, ignoring the fact that Iran is in compliance with the NNPT. Iran has the right to pursue civilian technology and has submitted to one of the most rigorous inspection regimes ever devised by the IAEA.
The United Nations has ben resistant to support any American action against the regime, the American public, fatigued by the war in Iraq, has not taken the bait. And the Administration is getting anxious. So... what do we do?
Could it be that we use Israel as a tool yet again and have them escalate the situation in the Middle East as an excuse for us to finally get our way and attack Iran? Listen to the press... Iran supporting Hezbollah, Iran mad missiles being used to attack a ship off the coast of Israel, etc.
It would appear that Israel is conveniently providing the final excuse that this Administration needs to attack Iran.
I wonder what we've promised them in exchange?
Today Hugo Chavez publicly stated that the United States' unequivocal backing of Israel is leading the world toward a holocaust. Israel... a state that has consistently defied United Nations resolutions. That has consistently flouted the calls for retraint demanded by the international community. That has nuclear weapons at the ready in defiance of the NNPT.
Bush must consider himself very lucky to have such good friends... friends that will risk a war in order to give the Bushites and their war machine exactly what they want. I hope the price was worth it.
