Once again, the war drums are beating loudly as a war obsessed president launches his media propaganda blitz on a war weary nation. Buoyed by his ‘successful war in Iraq’ which has resulted in one million fatalities and over 4 million refugees, the Bush war machine has asked the Pentagon to draw plans for an attack on Iran. Bereft of ground troops, a massive aerial attack is planned to rain death and terror on the hapless Iranian people. According to investigative journalist, Seymour Hersh’s, latest article in the New Yorker magazine, the war rational has shifted from WMD’s (largely rejected by an increasingly skeptical public) to Iran’s alleged role in Iraq. Thus, the WMD threat has been repackaged as a counterterrorism threat.
The pro-life president is now planning to dispatch more innocent civilians to an early grave. It is time for all Americans to speak out on the war crimes this administration is committing in our name. We must oppose plans to launch an air-strike on Iran and return our country to one which has respect for international law and human rights.
