Iran.....Iran.....Iran..
Is is just me or are all the sunday morning channels beating the war drums about Iran.

We have almost no good military options to use on Iran and that is why we WILL attack Iran.

Bush is to predictable........if it is a bad idea he will do it.

God help us........

6. Instead of Iraq, the new police action reminds me of another conflict
Yeah, come on all of you, big strong men,
Uncle Sam needs your help again.
He's got himself in a terrible jam
Way out yonder in Iran
So put down your books and pick up a gun,
We're gonna have a whole lotta fun.
And it's one, two, three,
What are we fighting for?
Don't ask me, I don't give a damn,
Reminds me of Vietnam;
And it's five, six, seven,
Open up the pearly gates,
Well there ain't no time to wonder why,
Whoopee! we're all gonna die.

Well, come on generals, let's move fast;
Your big chance has come at last.
Gotta go get those towel-heads —
The only good Muslim is one who's dead
And you know that peace can only be won
When we've blown 'um all to kingdom come.
And it's one, two, three,
What are we fighting for?
Don't ask me, I don't give a damn,
Next stop is in Iran;
And it's five, six, seven,
Open up the pearly gates,
Well there ain't no time to wonder why
Whoopee! we're all gonna die.

Huh!

Well, come on Wall Street, don't move slow,
Why man, this is war au-go-go.
There's plenty good money to be made
By supplying the Army with the tools of the trade,
Just hope and pray if they drop some nukes,
They don’t drop it on our own troops.
And it's one, two, three,
What are we fighting for?
Don't ask me, I don't give a damn,
Reminds me of Vietnam.
And it's five, six, seven,
Open up the pearly gates,
Well there ain't no time to wonder why
Whoopee! we're all gonna die.

Well, come on mothers, now don’t be sad
Pack your boys off to Baghdad.
Come on fathers, don't hesitate,
Send 'em off before it's too late.
Be the first one on your block
To have your boy come home in a box.
And it's one, two, three
What are we fighting for?
Don't ask me, I don't give a damn,
Next stop is in Iran.
And it's five, six, seven,
Open up the pearly gates,
Well there ain't no time to wonder why,
Whoopee! we're all gonna die.

3. Those war drums have been beating for the past couple of
months. They're getting to be almost deafening now. It's just a matter of time.

5. Remember this-
the neocons are not the least bit discouraged by Iraq. They reason that if they can neutralize Iran then a big source of support for the Iraq enemy will no longer be effective. Never mind that Iran can really fight back. Remember this also, facts and reason have no place in the world of the neocon. Do you think Hitler and the fascists thought about consequences? And you need to listen to what they are not saying. Iran setting up their own oil exchange and pegging the cost of oil to the euro. To the corprotocracy that is more dangerous than nukes. No more control.

9. Funny you mention the fascists - they did the same thing. Toppled
one government after another and invaded one country after another and enslaved one country after another because,,, well,, publicly they said it was because they were antagonistic toward Germany and the fascists and the corporate machine that was starting to roll. The real reason - probably power drunk leaders with no real vision for leadership.

Anyway - this has no bearing on current world events. Move along. Nothing to see.

8. first they'll start blaming Iran for the civil war in Iraq
then they'll get involved in some border situation with Iran

THEN they'll really start rattling the sabres.

10.  ***PETITION TO SIGN: NO WAR WITH IRAN ***
Hello,

For the past year, the growing tensions mounting between the US, Israel, and Iran are reaching a point where military action against Iran is w/in months of becoming reality. The repercussions are terrifying as such military action could involve countries such as China and Russia as they share massive energy/economic interests w/ Iran. The most likely scenario we would face would be the collapse of the US economy as the combination of a massive rise in oil prices and a run on the US dollar would surely be the weapon many countries would use to fight back against a preemptive US or Israeli strike.

For a collection of articles and resources on this subject you can visit this link: http://reseaudesign.com/research/iran/iran_summery.html

I'm starting up a petition which I will be sending out to as many members of Congress as possible. I'm asking for help to get this signed by as many people, possible in the next month. Send it to as many people you can.

http://www.petitiononline.com/n0war1rn/



Also, here is another petition you can sign from another group:
http://stopwaroniran.org/statement.shtml




Thanks for your time
