The Bush Administration is preparing for a series of air strikes (or Divine Strakes) on Iran. There is a chance that the Christian fundamentalists of Washington could be persuaded that attacking the country would be insane, but the hard core of loonies will probably win, and there will be yet another war.Well, lots of people dying is not irrelevant to Bushco actually. It is the point, the intent of it all, after all. We, as a nation, have already toxically polluted most of the region with DU dust, a radiological hazard that happens to have a half-life equal to that of the planet. We, again as a nation, have set upon a path to continue to use as many of the remaining natural resources of the planet as we can, and in doing so we are destroying the capability of the planet to maintain the human life-sustaining carbon/nitrogen balances. We also are complicitous in empowering the bushco to destroy the US economy for the sake of a very few, who are using their accumulation of great wealth to fortify sancturaries, wherein they will ride out the death and destruction encouraged upon the other 95% of the planet's human population. Nuking Iran is just another furtherance of the process.
The consequences for the US and the rest of the world will be terrible. Lots of people will die, but since that is irrelevant to Bush zealots in any context there is no point in examining their plans from the perspectives of morality or international law.
An April LA Times' poll showed that 48 per cent of Americans want war on Iran, while only 40 don't, when answering the question "If Iran continued to produce material that can be used to develop nuclear weapons, would you support or oppose military action?" They've been brainwashed, just like the millions who still believe Saddam Hussein was responsible for 9-11, and the Washington mind-benders are licking their lips.
We don't really want to stop the spread of malaria and AIDS in Africa, in fact our policies and economic decisions are increasing the dangers. We certainly have no interest in losing our grasp on the increasingly more valuable and decreasingly less available energy resources, so we are more than willing to toxically pollute the regions where those resources are held. Doing so lowers the population in those regions, and allows highly funded, specially-trained, security and technology forces to get at those resources with much less hassle. We will soon re-invade South America for just that purpose. Impoverishing ourselves will reduce our population and our demands on products that increase the flow of financial instruments away from us. Once we are dying of diseases and famine, the high security burbclaves of the elites will be safer for them to use, and protected from rising ocean levels, flooding rivers, nasty intense thorms, and desperate citizens.
Why do we care about their trying to get a nuclear weapon in the first place? It only affects the relationship Iran has with Israel and our bases we hope to use to control Mid-East oil reserves. Israel has nuclear weapons, and we don't seem at all concerned about that. What will happen when the elites of that nation decide that the elites in ours are a threat to their precious energy resources. Do we then nuke Israel as well??? Well duh! No, deaths are not irrelevant, they are necessary for the future of those who have the will and power to sustain themselves and their progeny past the planetary chaos of 2020.
