It is common knowledge in Quebec media that Iran has mastered “all aspects” of nuke technology. Take note, this technology is now 60 years old. All know that any country that wants a nuke can build one in just a few months. Guess what? All this about Nukes in Iran is some kind of diversion to cover for the eventual alliance between Israel and Iran. Remmember, they have been allies since the 1950s against the Brits.

A Persian/Jew mid east in a drole accommodation with Chavez and his “liberation theology” in control of South and Central America, seems to be a surprise model for a new world order coming soon. All you media cats that have been beating up on the Vatican had better brush up on your Rosary. You are going to need lots of absolution. Thanks RDuane Willing

@Smith Wordok, I dislike quoting without credits. I will use “Smith Wordok” unless you indicate otherwise. A work is in progress entitled “The Rise of the Persian Empire”, for which your comments are invaluable; the intended scope covers millennia of history.

One inescapable conclusion is sitting in front of our faces: To base geopolitical understanding on a mere 100 years of history is to be myopic to the point of self-destruction. I doubt that Iran will make that kind of mistake, but we Americans can barely hold on to a political idea for 20 days (the fade-out period for headline attention.)

I agree with the tenor of your comments that Iran cannot be invaded by conventional means, and unconventional ones open up a Pandora’s box which likely is being saved for something bigger. Yet beyond the pale of the saber-rattling, a larger issue emerges: What, if left alone, will Iran become? That is the focus of my current work, for which if you have thoughts, send them on to sufferingduckman@gmail.com. Iran appears ‘destined’ by the depth of her history, not to mention her self- and outside- imposed isolation, to become a major player in the next decade.

This could be like all the other resolutions for AIPAC. The signers get a lot of political contributions from AIPAC supporters. It is really the AIPAC supporters who are getting played here. President Bush spoke the AIPAC line but when it came down to delivering, he did not give Israel the bunker busting bombs that they wanted, much to his VP’s displeasure. It is unlikely that Obama is going to get the American military into another war. The military already has a handful. North Korea and China would take advantage of any war with Iran to do mischief in their backyard. The countries who rely on Persian Gulf oil would be very upset with a war. Israel would also pay a fearful price. War would be bad for business in Israel. The whole thing (Cong. Resolution)appears as a joke to some.

Being a human being, i can not support Mr. obama, perhaps I respects both Mr. obama as well as the President of IRAN.

For the past 65 years, America is hungry for oil and dominating,
they have only bombed japan, even now they are only threatening
Iraq, Iran, Palestine, Syria, wherein America should give up relation
with ISRAEL, all the the problems will be solved.

Other wise let Israel face the problem with iran etc. why America
should intervene

“October Surprise”…….it happened before (just before November elections) to keep a congress in power. It could happen again….as the drums of war continue to get louder.

I make mil spec Ouija boards; they are $1.1 million each, but a recent necessary upgrade from plastic to battle grade materials will push the price higher. If fitted and optioned with my new reverse ethereal look up finder, the price does rise but to a still modest $3.7 million each; this however does not include batteries.

It’s actually pretty simple to understand.

Obama is losing popularity fast.

The Dems may lose big in the upcoming mid terms.

If you wanna wage war, do it when you have a majority Senate and Congress.

Waging war also distracts the people from domestic problems eg. oil spill, economic problems, and if handled right usually boosts your popularity.

He will do what is politically expedient.

A lot of people reading this did not live in 1945. Then the trials in Nuernberg, Germany, the (in)famous war crimes trials were held. At the end Generals etc were hanged for attacking and invading countries. What happened since?? Why was it a crime then and not now, when the US of A and Israel are doing it?

A recent poll in Pakistan reveals that 60% of the population considers the U.S. an enemy. We go through this absurd theater, telling their government that they must crack down, but the reality is their own people don’t support that.

We are not doing that well in Afghanistan or Iraq, when will we learn?

@ducq,
Thank you for taking note of it. Since the media is so biased I have researched and written this piece to help others. It is not really much, I have not even bothered to clean up errors of grammar and spells in it but I post them anywhere I can so that people know the other side of the story too. And ofcourse you can quote it as much as you like. That is why I have written it. So that we can be free from corporate media. Have fun, and since it is a no profit piece, feel free to improve it. Also I recommend a small book about Iran which is a good sensational read, since it is written by CIA spy. Certainly no less than a spy novel. “The devil we know” by Robert Baer. Take care now.

War on Iran is an appalling idea. Americans were duped into the first Gulf War started as a get-rich-quick charlatan evangelical man stood beside him – then Bush, Sr. declared that God told him to do it. Oh? He was wired as to exactly how did he receive that message? No answer. As a former CIA head, he’s about as religious as a flea.
