Politics At Its Best.

We own much more oil now than we ever have and prices are going UP? And UP faster than ever before.
No better way to get the nation to $pay attention$ than to force a sharp rise in the cost of living, blame it on poorly understood and uncontrollable forces and then step in and save the day with a token promise that actually does nothing to lower prices.
My prediction. Prices will go back below $3.00 gal quick and Bushes approval rating will go up over 50% again.

He needs no rabbit if bush wants war he will have one. Who will stop him? You? Me? Thousands of protesters? not likely. Congress is Republican and even Demo's will vote for an Iran war. Iran has alot of people really scared. You forget that Iran is PICKING the fight.

I would say China and Russia would have something to say about the U.S. invading Iran.

I'm sure they will Rono, but at the same time I doubt it will stop US if thats what we decide to do. I'll say it again here. THis Iran thing will play out into WWIII. I just cant see it happening any other way.

I don't think even a warmonger like Bush wants war with Iran. At least not while our troops are tied up in Iraq and Afghanistan. I don't think a lot of people realize just how big Iran is. We'll be in over our heads if we go in.

All I know is that if you pay attention to the media, the drums of war are being pounded really heavily. The government and media was able to turn despair over 9/11 into support for an invasion of Afghanistan where the enemy was Al-Qaeda, then an invasion of Iraq where the enemy was Saddam and his weapons of mass destruction. Now it seems to have spread to the entire muslim world, with Iran and Palestine at the center. I'm sure they'll start in on Indonesia soon. Every day there is more and more public outrage over muslims in general. And I won't say that it isn't being provoked by what seems to be a swell in the islamic world of public demonstrations against the west. However when I look at how this is being treated by the media in conjunction with what the Government is saying about Iran, it seems obvious to me that the powers that be are fanning the flames of contempt and gearing up for support for a war that once again will primarily benefit the rich. It's an old story.

I'm pretty sure the whole reason that Iran is trying to get the bomb in defiance of the UN is because they are seizing a moment of opportunity. America has been at war so long, and its sparked so much controversy that the Iranian government knows that a third war would be politically impossible. They know that right now is their chance to get the bomb, and they're taking it.
It just goes to show you what happens when you cry wolf. We wasted all of our shit on the pointless war in Iraq, and now we can't fight the real dangers. Jesus, Bush is a fucking moron.

Bravo! You've hit the nail on the head! This may be Bush's biggest shit on mankind, and that's quite a big deal if you look how many shits hes already taken. I remember I used to be able to list them all. Ha! I'm not trying to write a novel,

Hmmm I think that they are just another country trying to take advantage of the fact that nuclear energy is cheep, efficient and reliable. Shame on us for trying to keep such an important and easily available resource from an under developed nation.
Seriously. Even the white house admits that in order to build a bomb, Iran needs to have more than 200,000 centrifuges running constantly for a long time. Their announcement for building just 2000 centrifuges may be a start but its hardly any threat. Iran poses NO threat.
But we will bomb the shit out of them anyway.
