The Lone Voice of Sanity Comment by Larry Ross, August 17, 2007
Most Republicans and Democrats have jumped on Bush's war bandwagon. They are repeating and justifying the lies designed to sell Americans on a war on Iran. It is amazing how Bush's many lies on Iran are virtually unchallenged in the media and believed by the majority of Americans who were already fooled by the same kind of lies before the 2003 US attack and occupation of Iraq. An attack on Iran could easily grow into a much wider and endless war in the Middle East. It could involve many other countries, including China and Russia, who are allied to Iran and have vital interests there. They are unlikely to passively sit on their hands while the US destroys Iran. A US war could begin the nightmare of a global nuclear war. Bush has the power and has surrounded himself with people mad enough to create their own 'End Times' Armageddon war scenario. Much evidence, facts and testimony suggests it will be nuclear. The Bush Administration has planned and prepared for a war on Iran for a long time and military preparations may now be complete. Iran is surrounded by a US naval Armada and US air bases. The US media, Congressmen, much of the public and right-wing commentators are calling for war. The polls show that a majority of Americans have accepted the lies that Iran is an enemy and nuclear threat to the US. Although there is no factual basis for these accusations, proofs are not needed in Bush's Imperial world. Accusations are enough to wage war, as they were and still are for the illegal US war on Iraq. How could a rich, powerful, supposedly intelligent US population, leading the world, come under the rule of a deluded, power-mad bunch of war criminals? These people are not rational, or normal. They are super-inflated with Imperial Hubris, arrogance, psychopathic tendencies and the all-knowing smugness of entrenched ignorance fortified by fundamentalist religious delusions. It is an impenetratable shell, impervious to any criticism of advice. The only solution is Impeach Bush, Cheney and their gang now, before they do it. Otherwise the party's over. Tomorrow will be endless nightmares.

Urgent Letter from Dennis Kucinich about
Dear Friends, The Bush Administration is preparing for war against Iran, using an almost identical drumbeat of weapons of mass destruction, imminent threat, alleged links to Al Queda, and even linking Iran with a future 911. In the past few months reports have been published in Newsweek, ABC News and GQ Magazine that indicate the US is recruiting members of paramilitary groups to destabilize Iran through violence. The New Yorker magazine and the Guardian have written that US has already deployed military inside Iran. The latest issue of Time writes of plans for a naval blockade of Iran at the Port of Hormuz, through which 40% of the world's oil supply passes. Other news reports have claimed that an air strike, using a variety of bombs including bunker busters to be dropped on over 1,000 targets, including nuclear facilities. This could obviously result in a great long term humanitarian and environmental disaster.
