What we are hearing about Iran seems eerily familiar (a mirror image of what we heard in the lead up to the Iraq war), while at the same time sounds fucking frightening. Are we getting the correct translation of Ahmadenijad's speech yesterday wherein he threatens that Israel will be annilihated soon?
IF the English translation is accurate (here's the URL to the AP story:
http://news.yahoo.com/... ) are the threats just grandstanding rhetoric? Or, should the world really be concerned that this nut case is trying to provoke armageddon (sp?)? The problem with all of this is that Bush has lied so many times, and has manipulated what we hear in the news to such a great extent, I don't know what to believe. On the one hand, it scares the shit out of me to read things like in the AP story referenced above. On the other hand, what can be done by this administration given the disaster that is Iraq. I would like to hear/see some discussion on this blog about what should be done if, in fact, Iran is prepared to attack Israel or otherwise act in a way that provokes a response. Who knows, because of the constant barrage of lies, exagerations, and misrepresentations spewing forth from our criminal president and his administration, this may be all bullshit and an excuse to carpet bomb Iran. Lastly, how should the Dems approach the Iranian issue at this point in time?
