War with Iran Imminent

Listen to today's news on Democracy Now!

Seems the Presidential hopefuls have started their campaign trails a bit far from home..... or perhaps not. Several Presidential candidates went to Israel yesterday to speak at a summit meeting where several high Ranking Bush advisors and neoconservative hawks (like Richard Perle) were also rally the people behind an apparently imminent strike against Iran. Yes you heard me, Iran.

Seems while our media coerced attention is being directed to pay attention to the troop escalation - more specifically the debate over "surge" vs "escalation"- Bush and neocon global supremacists have moved in for a check-mate with Iran. With three aircraft carrier groups off the persian coastline not much wider than lake michigan... and with a newly appointed commander of Centcom from the Navy, an airstrike is perhaps more likely than any of us think.



This appears to be as good a time as any to begin to do your duty as a citizen in a Democracy... unlike the rest of the world who can only watch and wonder, we have the responsibility, ney duty, to participate in the political process. I know its painful to watch him speak, but its far less painful than to be on the other end of his policy, dying from US firepower and coersive policy. I'd imagine there are millions of people arond the world who are praying that we listen to his speech and do our duty to reign him in before its too late.
