Obama administration officials, as well as U.S. lawmakers and European diplomats, passionately made the argument this spring that tough sanctions on Iran were necessary to avoid war. But contrary to their predictions, the drumbeat for war -- particularly from Israel – has only increased since the U.N. Security Council adopted a new resolution against Tehran in June. The latest in this crescendo of voices is Jeffrey Goldberg’s article in the Atlantic, "Point of No Return." As the title suggests, it essentially makes the case (though in an uncharacteristically subtle manner by neoconservative standards) that there are no choices left -- war is a fait accompli, and the only question is whether it will be initiated by Israel or by the United States. "If the Israelis reach the firm conclusion that Obama will not, under any circumstances, launch a strike on Iran, then the countdown will begin for a unilateral Israeli attack," Goldberg writes. www.salon.com/news/iran/index.html?story=/politics/war_room/2010/08/13/trita_parsi_jeffrey_goldberg |

We don't need to, and shouldn't get involved in this.

Kind of funny that in Biblical times the Persians allowed the Jews to go back to Israel and took out the Babylonians and helped them, now the Persians (Iranians) and Jews (Israelis) hate each other.

One of the 2012 predictions is that our last war ( World War 3 ) will be a war from Nukes sent across the sea and it will be A military confrontation between Israel and Iran. lol..

All the more reason Ive always thought the United States should tell the world to off. Let them kill each other off and then in 10 years we'll come in and take all the oil, gold, sand and/or anything else we can get our hands on. |
