At least one former White House official contends that some Bush
advisers secretly want an excuse to attack Iran. "They intend to be as
provocative as possible and make the Iranians do something [America]
would be forced to retaliate for," says Hillary Mann, the
administration's former National Security Council director for Iran and
Persian Gulf Affairs. .

A second Navy carrier group is steaming toward the Persian Gulf, and
NEWSWEEK has learned that a third carrier will likely follow. Iran shot
off a few missiles in those same tense waters last week, in a highly
publicized test. With Americans and Iranians jousting on the chaotic
battleground of Iraq, the chances of a small incident's spiraling into
a crisis are higher than they've been in years.

So, we very likely can expect even more kids from Red States to
be removed from the gene pool. Sadly ironic.

It's brown shirts and jack boots in the red states, for sure.

single battle back in WWII and earlier wars, thereby justifying

people getting killed.
