Late night post.
This will be a short diary.
Here we are again, after the debacle in Iraq and the continuing struggles in Afganisthan I find it shocking that the chorus of War drums for an attack on Iran by either us or Israel is been bang loud and clear. And this beating of the war drum is not just coming for the usual Right wing lunatics, but some on the left who are actually saying Iran might have to be attacked. It's like all this people have forgotten the Iraq war ever happened, they speak like this so called attack they're calling for will be a CAKEWALK! Yes cakewalk, where have we heard that before. They say it will just be air strikes, nothing more. Even a limited airstrike on Iran will be a disaster not just for us but for Israel, they're so many unintented consequences an attack on Iran will unleash that I shutter in horror thinking of them. Oil prices surging through the roof, a galvanizing population of Iranians who will be determined to fight to the death against their aggressors just when we've created a divide amongst the Iranian population and their current government.
I just hope people are thinking it through before they start spouting off about an attack on Iran, if we thought Iraq was bad wait for the horror show that will take place if this attack ever happened. Something has to be done about the Iranian nuclear situation, I think sanctions and isolation is the way to go. They've proven to be effective in the past. Think Iraq. We shouldn't let the military industrial complex draw us into another disastrious war.
