OT: The ominous backlash of an attack against Iran |
The ominous backlash of an attack against Iran

When U.S. President George W. Bush first identified the two Middle
East members of his "axis of evil," Iran clearly ranked as a far more
formidable adversary than Saddam Hussein's Iraq.
But Bush went after the easier target instead. "Did we invade the
wrong country?" now asks leading American commentator Charles
Krauthammer, speaking for many neoconservative hawks as the U.S.
refocuses on Iran. From their standpoint, it must surely look as if
they did. For the neocons, overthrowing Saddam was to have been
nothing if not regional in purpose, the opening phase of a grand
design to "transform"' the entire Middle East. But such are the
region's cross-border dynamics that success was never going to be
assured even in one country unless it embraced others too.

Let Krauthammer and his neocons join the Marines and pickup rifles.
Neocons should fight the battles they espouse.

Bush added $2 trillion in national debt in three years. The
biggest addition of national debt of any president. There are
280 million Americans. That is $3,333 per American, $13,332
For a family of four. Bush wants to make the tax cuts that are
generating these vast debts permanent.Vote Kerry, we cannot
afford more massive debt.
Cheerful Charlie
