War on Iran = Insanity

[rio grande]

Don't be fooled by the neo-cons and Israel-Firsters.

I won't be...

There have been just as many Dumycrats who believe that Iran should never be allowed to build nuclear weapons as there have been "neocons."  I believe we should never contemplate sending troops against Iran, just as we never should have sent troops to Irak, Afghanistan and anywhere else.  That is why we have "the bomb" and the means to deliver it where it would do the most good.
 
I also believe that Israel will do what they believe they need to do and we don't have to be directly involved.

The last paragraph sums up the situation not only of this one issue but our government overall.
 
   "So why aren't we pursuing this important diplomatic option instead of our March of Folly? If our best military minds tell us an attack on Iran will solve nothing and make things worse, why isn't the majority of Congress paying attention? Is their fear of offending powerful interests greater than their commitment to America's chances for peace and prosperity?"
 
 Yes! Of course. Politicians are only interested in their own prosperity and there is more money to be made from war then from peace.
