CFR Rag: ‘Time to Attack Iran’

December 31st, 2011

Via: Council on Foreign Relations / Foreign Affairs:

The truth is that a military strike intended to destroy Iran’s nuclear program, if managed carefully, could spare the region and the world a very real threat and dramatically improve the long-term national security of the United States.

    The truth? The truth is that is that Russia and China will follow through with their line in the sand established by Yeltsin and his Chinese counterpart when they became allies who decided they would never allow a single nation to mono-polarize world control. Further, a theoretically perfect strike on iran would be viewed by the Iranians withthe same lust for revenge as would an attack on Lawrence Livermore, Los Alamos, Hanford, and the WTC. The Iranians have defended their borders and sovereignty quite successfully for millennia and they most likely have biological ways to continue to do so. This ain’t the 1940’s and we need to mind our own business in our corner of the planet rather than pissing off a lot of decent ordinary peace loving people 12 time zones away. Attacking Iran will open Pandora’s box.

    This is the crazy stuff that is currently being put out by the Council of Foreign Affairs, the body that many consider to be the real power behind world politics and to which most of the “leaders” of the world belong. The only “threat” to the region is felt by Israel (our “true interest in the Middle East” ), the sole country in that region who already has nuclear weapons and wants to keep it that way. Have no doubts that it is Israel who is pushing this insane agenda to attack Iran, a move which many consider a trigger to World War 3 and potentially a thermonuclear one by pulling Russia into the fray. Remember Iraq and the “weapons of mass destruction” that never were? Well, they’re trying this again but this time with Iran. The controlled U.S. media will be beating these war drums as well. Wish I could have sent along a happy and jolly message but felt instead the need to open 2012 with a warning that the people of the United States must realize that their military and elected representatives appear to be headed into another war.
