Bush thinks threat is the only answer

Former national security adviser Zbigniew Brzezinski likened U.S. officials' saber rattling about Iran's alleged nuclear ambitions to similar statements made before the start of the Iraq war.

"I think the administration, the president and the vice president particularly, are trying to hype the atmosphere, and that is reminiscent of what preceded the war in Iraq," Brzezinski told CNN's "Late Edition" on Sunday.

Do not let these paranoid fools get away with this again. Their irrational reasoning goes like this: if Iran is building nuclear reactors that can produce cheap energy and the residue from that production can be used to make bombs then they must be planning to make bombs. This creates an atmosphere in which Dick Cheney’s special brand of paranoia thrives. It has been proven that he believes it is best to do a ‘pre-emptive’ strike against any perceived threat against us instead of waiting for proof. George W. Bush has proven that he will allow himself to be led down any path by anyone close to him even if that path leads the U.S. to an illegal war. Together, this pair of weak-minded, warmongering, paranoid fools is the absolute worst thing to ever happen to this country. Cheney’s paranoia and mistrust only serves to illustrate that he himself is not trustworthy. You cannot trust someone who does not trust anyone. They are loose cannons. And as such should never have been allowed into this position of power.

Henry Kissinger, the former national security adviser and secretary of state under President Nixon, does not doubt Iran's alleged ambitions. "I believe they are building a capability to build a nuclear bomb," Kissinger told CNN. "I don't think they're yet in a position to build a nuclear bomb, but they may be two or three years away from it."

Sure they are building a ‘capacity’ to build a nuclear bomb. That same capacity is required to build a cleaner source of energy, too.

Earlier this month during a televised speech asserting that U.S. troops should not be immediately withdrawn from Iraq, President Bush said, "Iran would benefit from the chaos and would be encouraged in its efforts to gain nuclear weapons and dominate the region."

This statement is an insight to Bush’s paranoia and for what he has planned for the future of that region. His real fear of Iran dominating the region is that they will get to it before the U.S. does.

George W. Bush, and his puppet masters, want that region to be controlled by the U.S. because of its strategic ability to protect access to oil reserves.

These scheming old men believe that if the American people can be made to believe that Iran has nefarious reasons for building nuclear power plants then the U.S. will have the backing of the American people to build military bases in the region to ostensibly repress Iran’s military when the real reason is to allow the U.S. to have some control over that oil.

We have no proof that Iran is striving to make nuclear weapons. We have only the paranoid fear of a couple of zealous old men sitting in the Presidents office conspiring about how to get the American public behind their own nefarious schemes.

Rest assured Iran wants more weapons and they want to beef up their military. Who wouldn’t with the most powerful nation in the world breathing down their necks threatening them with their military?

George W. Bush, and his cohorts, does not have a clue about what to do after Iran stood up against the International Atomic Energy Agency and refused to stop building nuclear reactors. Bush takes this resistance to bow down as an act of aggression against him personally. So his cowboy mentality causes him to react in the only comfortable way he knows and that is with more threats of violence. He is too blind to see that this makes him an even bigger fool.

Iran does not want war with the American people. Bush and Cheney need to keep rattling their sabers in order to force their way into a position of controlling that area. If war with Iran will put the U.S. in that position sooner then I have no doubt that the cowboy and his sidekick will go for it.

We cannot believe what these guys tell us about the war in Iraq. We can’t even belief the main stream media about what is going on in Iraq. The media is being manipulated to paint a rosier picture of what is truly taking place there and we need to remain vigilant about reaching out to alternative media sources to get the full picture.

If we don’t have the guts to impeach these lunatics then we can at least turn our backs to their lies and let them know we cannot be blindly led into yet another war.

Freedom of Speech belongs to everyone

Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is visiting the U.S. It is what foreign dignities do. It is especially what dignitaries of countries who are at odds with the U.S. should do. Our dignitaries should visit their country as well. All of these dignitaries should get together and talk things out. We should never have another war with any nation without taking the time to sit down and talk and clear the air of all unfounded and malicious rumors about war.

Why not let the man speak at Columbia University? What do you think is going to happen? Is he going to be able to ‘charm’ Americans into agreeing with him that we should “wipe Israel off the face of the Earth” as he espouses? Do you think we are so ripe for brainwashing that after his speech we will also believe that the “Holocaust was a myth”?

Those people who oppose an open forum with people of a differing point of view are not only cowards but show that they have no faith in the American public’s ability to see through hateful rhetoric. Certainly, and unfortunately, there are weak-minded Americans who might believe what he has to say, just as there are free-thinking Iranians who do not believe what he says.

At a protest to prevent Ahmadinejad from speaking, New York state Assemblyman Dov Hikind said Ahmadinejad "should be arrested when he comes to Columbia University, not invited to speak for God's sake." This statement illustrates the close-minded and repressive thinking that tries to shutdown free speech. It is the statement of a hate-mongering idiot. This fool believes his point of view is the only one that matters and that anyone who does not agree with him should be arrested. He is an enemy to any free society.

If we truly believe in the foundation that our forefathers based the Bill of Rights on, then those rights belong to ‘everyone’ no matter their nationality. These rights are inalienable, just as our forefathers reasoned. They are not inherent ‘only’ for Americans, but to everyone. We, as mere humans, do not have any right to withhold them from any single person or nation.

We owe it to ourselves and our future to hear what leaders of all nations have to say, even those who oppose us in their beliefs. I would argue that it is especially important to invite those of opposing views. Let them see that we are not afraid of their ideas. Let them see that we are of a stronger mind and that we are united in our belief system and cannot be swayed from over 200 years of freedom by someone who preaches a different message.
