"The right has decided it is at war with Iran, so a routine visit by Iran's ceremonial president to the UN GA has generated sparks. The foremost cheerleader for such a view in Congress is Sen Lieberman, who recently pressed Gen. Petraeus on the desirability of bombing Iran in order to forestall weapons smuggling into Iraq from that country.

American hawks are beating the war drums loudly because they are increasingly frustrated with the course of events. They are unsatisfied with the lack of enthusiasm among the EU and UN for impeding Tehran's nuclear energy research program. While the Bush administration insists that the program aims at producing a bomb, the Iranian state maintains that it is for peaceful energy purposes. It wants tighter sanctions on Iran at the UN but is unlikely to get them in the short term because of Russian and Chinese reluctance. They may attempt to create a "coalition of the willing" of Iran boycotters outside the UN framework."

Never in my wildest dreams did I think that I would want to apologize to Iran for the behaviors of the US "rulers".

good clip

I hope bush doesn't find out about all of this truth coming out, he'll have us all declared part of the axis of evil, and
shut down the Internet!

and with god on his side, sure wouldn't he be right.

"Filthy habit, that interneting. Un-American. Full of intellectuals. 6 years in Iraq would sort them. Military service never did anyone any harm. The dead and casualties? Omelets! Get in more immigrants. They don't mind dying." GWB
