War with Iran?... US supporting terrorists to promote more war in the Middle East?







I am trying to keep up with the developments in the Middle East. Although I am doing this daily, I am not posting much of it here -- most of the stories are covered well in the news sites (not the network new sites).


I am very worried about the neocon plan to involve Iran in the conflict -- we are in Afganistan, Iraq, next is Iran and Syria according to the long range plan I have read about for a number of years. Sure, we are not winning yet -- but maybe winning a clear war is not the strategy of our current administration. Stirring things up so we have the most influence in the region is a goal in itself.

I am disturbed by Dick Cheney's talk in Australia saying that war with Iraq is an option. I am concerned with the comment of Prez Bush that nuclear war could be an option with Iran if they try to develop their nuclear weapons. Did you know that Nobel Laureates from Cornell have petitioned congress for a binding resolution to prohibit the use of nuclear weapons against a country that does not have nuclear weapons? This petition came about after Prez Bush's comments about the possibility of a nuclear strike.

Here is another disturbing link in today's paper. I will go out and buy this week's New Yorker to read the whole article but it is posted at the New Yorker web site.

Here is a link to a summary of one of the issues in Seymour Hersh's article. Watch the video and read the transcript. If you are still interested, visit the New Yorker web site.
