With reports of The U.S.S. Eisenhower streaming toward the Straits of Hormuz along with The U.S.S. Enterprise's position in the region, I find it astonishing that Dems are not screaming. Whether the Bushies are sabre-rattling, attempting to distract attention from Iraq, Afghanistan and North Korea,, ginning up patriotism, or playing the fear card as a pre-election tactic matters little. The neo-cons are aching for the opportunity to bomb Iran and will most certainly do so should there be another Lebanese/Israeli provocation, legitimate or intentionally manipulated. The War Powers Act will allow our End-Times Prez to begin another pre-emptive war without asking Congress.
Any U.S or Israeli action upon Iran will have disastrous consequences ranging from sky high oil prices resulting in international economic meltdown to regional and worldwide instability the likes of which we have yet to even imagine.
There is no sanity emanating from those making decisions which will affect our world for decades to come. If Congressional leaders do not immediately push back against this in a bi-partisan way, our only hope is that Daily Kos-sters and blogs everywhere continue to beat this drum until it becomes a people's revolution. The insanity must stop.
