Substitute the Q for an N
If you think 2007 is sounding a lot like 2002, you're right. The administration is using the EXACT SAME techniques it used in 2002 to guide public opinion into accepting the war on Iraq.

Just exchange the year, and an N for a Q, and you've got Iran. For the record, there is next to no evidence that Iran is supplying arms to Iraqi insurgents--most of the insurgents are Sunni. Why would Iran be helping them? Seized arms caches aren't turning up anything from Iran. Regarding Iran's nuclear ambitions, it's estimated that Iran is at least 5 years and probably 10 years away from being able to produce weapons grade radioactive materials. All they've got right now is some centrifuges. So they can produce glow-in-the-dark Mickey Mouse watches! Yippee!

At least one Representative is on to them:
"The White House is Up to its Old Tricks"

It didn't have to come to this.

In 2003, before their current nutjob president was elected, Iran requested negotiations with us. The Bush administration basically spat in their faces. Back then, Khatami, the kindly reformist, was president. In the next election, most of the moderate/progressive candidates weren't allowed to run, so the nutjob Ahmed-i-nejad got elected. He is NOT popular at home, and many analysts think he's been provoking the U.S. to win domestic brownie points. It's important to also understand that the office of President in Iran is much less powerful than one would think. Longtime Mid-east historian Juan Cole compares his office to the U.S. Secretary of the Interior. IOW, Ahmed-i-nejad can huff and puff as much as he wants too, but his leash can get yanked at any time by the Supreme Ayatollah Whatever the Hell His Name is, and Ahmed-i-nejad knows it.

Bush has been moving battle carriers to the Persian Gulf. He has also announced that the Army has been given permission to kill or capture Iranian agents in Iraq. This move is particularly troubling, as thousands of Iranian pilgrims regularly travel to Shia holy sites such as Karbala. How would our troops distinguish between pilgrims and armed Iranian guerillas (which don't exist)?

U.S. News states that Democrats on the Hill are increasingly scared that Bush is going to order air strikes in the next few weeks.

There are NO good military options regarding Iran. (Yeah, I'll find links in a minute.) Our Army is stretched to the breaking point. If we do bomb Iran, our troops are in deadly peril of having their supplies cut off! And we don't know where the damn nuclear installations are, for
Christ's sake! When Israel bombed Iran nuclear facilities back in the '80s, the Iranians spread everything around. Some stuff might be close to legendary Isfahan, a cultural center for over a thousand years. "Isfahan is half the world," the Iranians say, in a clever Farsi pun.

If Bush bombs Iran, the Mideast will be engulfed in chaos. Our world will never be the same.

And it will be on our heads if we do not stop this American madman.
