Next Stop- Iran!
The next stop on our "who to bomb next" tour is who else but those pesky Iranians. After the undoubted success of Iraq we have figured out the world is OUR oyster.
Doing all they can to get us ready Bush and Cheney make their case for war with Iran. Condi doesnt rule it out either.
It is amazing to me that one of the most outspoken opponents to our current role in world politics is a Republican Congressman from Texas! Click the link to read his entire editorial.
Here is an excerpt from his remarks:
"Sadly, though, when governments, politicians, and bureaucrats make mistakes and refuse to reexamine them, there is little the victims can do to correct things. Since the bully pulpit and the media propaganda machine are instrumental in government cover-ups and deception, the final truth emerges slowly, and only after much suffering. The arrogance of some politicians, regulators, and diplomats actually causes them to become even more aggressive and more determined to prove themselves right, to prove their power is not to be messed with by never admitting a mistake. Truly, power corrupts!
The unwillingness to ever reconsider our policy of foreign intervention, despite obvious failures and shortcomings over the last 50 years, has brought great harm to our country and our liberty. Historically, financial realities are the ultimate check on nations bent on empire. Economic laws ultimately prevail over bad judgment. But tragically, the greater the wealth of a country, the longer the flawed policy lasts. We'll probably not be any different." By Rep. Ron Paul (R-TX)
God I hope that more of our representatives follow his lead!
