This is how fascism works [View All]

Imagine this scenario. A very powerful country pre-emptively, and opposed to UN decision, attacks Mexico claiming that it has WMDs including nukes, wipes out its leadership, destroys its infrastructure, and sets off a civil war that threatens to destabilize the whole region. Prior to that this same powerful country had attacked Canada and did similar things in hot pursuit of what it claimed were terrorists. The US then assists this powerful country in their effort to then stabilize Afghanistan, uh, Canada.

(Note: 25 years+ earlier this same powerful country assisted Mexico in its war with us)

After this both Mexico and Canada spiral into oblivion creating enormous chaos on the borders and this powerful country which we had helped in Canada then starts to threaten us with attack for what it says are nukes which it had earlier claimed were in Mexico, and for supplying weapons to groups in Mexico. Underneath the ground in all three areas is OIL galore!

This is analogous to what has happened to Iran. The US then tells Iran it cannot develop nukes even though other countries in the region (Pakistan, India and Israel) have them.

The rule seems to be play by Bushie rules or be annihilated.

Now we have the Press in the US going after Ahmadinejad and even people at DU playing the "with us or against us game".

This is how fascism works.It creates chaos and then keeps it going. It is similar in many ways to what Hitler did in Europe in the lead-up to WWII.

On Edit: In addition I think that Bush's goal is turn Iran into a wasteland if they won't come to his terms, (read: enslavement)
