Iran-0-Phobia...

With all the worry about Iran and nuclear weapons (I
think that we will have more megatonnes than them for the
forseeable future), I have an idea. Instead of
spending a trillion dollars (that's $1,000,000,000,000) attacking Iran, why don't
we just give them a trillion dollars to stop doing
whatever it is that worries us. I have to admit, I'm
really not sure what that is, but Condi Rice really
displays a furrowed brow these days.
Bribery, you say? I say, it seems to work pretty well
for our government, so why wouldn't it work for their
government too?

It Must Be Difficult

Being George W. Bush.
Here he is doing what God told him to do, but not getting the results God told him he would get. Perhaps he just realized ~ "My God! My God must have had a senior moment; He said Iraq when He must have meant to say Iran! God told me to attack the EVILDOERS in Iran! God must have made a mistake! Surely, it cannot be that I misheard him! Or perhaps he forgot that A thousand years is as a day to the Lord. Perhaps Democracy Will Bloom In The Deserts Of The Mideast - in a millenium or so.
And so, as we continue along this path of madness, we hear (yet again) that "They'll Welcome Us As Liberators; They'll Strew Our Path With Flowers." Now it's the poor oppressed Iranians we will be bringing the freedom of saturation bombing to, instead of the poor oppressed Iraqis. Perhaps the Iraqis will appreciate the respite. I doubt that the Iranians will welcome the bombs dropping on them. As I have said before, or ought to have, the phantasy branch of the federal government remains firm in its grasp of unreality.
At least as remarkable as the fact that there are those who can still say such things (one former DoD official wondered publicly what his boss was smoking), is the fact that a majority of Americans believes this phantasy! Fifty -eight percent, according to the last poll I have seen, think it makes perfect sense to attack Iran.
Of course these are from the same pollsters who are bringing forth numbers that show that "Bush is at an all time low in popularity", spinning the amazing fact that not only does his wife support him but apparently more than one-person-in-three thinks he is competent. Now that is truly An Amazing Statistic.
