Sun Newspaper's viscious gutter propaganda

Yes I know we shouldn't expect anything but lies and filth from Trevor Kavanagh political editor of the Sun but this is really beyond the pale. Below is a sample e-mail I sent to him

We are now to all intents and purposes at war with Iran.
It may still be a war of words - and worried Western leaders will do their best to keep it like that.
But if oil-hungry Teheran has its way, this is doomed to turn to bloody conflict.
It has been clear almost from the start that Iran is not just fanning the flames of the insurgency in Iraq, but providing the fuel and the ammunition.
Now impeccable intelligence sources confirm they are providing the training camps for the killers who recently slaughtered eight British squaddies in Basra.
They are taught and supported by Iran's infamous Revolutionary Guard.
This will come as no surprise to Tony Blair.
If he has sleepless nights, it is the prospect of an expansionary and merciless Iran that keeps him awake.
His nightmare is fuelled by certain knowledge that nothing - apart from unimaginable military action - can stop the mullahs acquiring nuclear power and then nuclear weapons.
Worse, there is every prospect they will use them.
The fear of a nuclear blast - - even a dirty bomb - in a major Western city has preoccupied Washington and London for years.
It also strikes fear into the hearts of Iran's Arab neighbours who are convinced they are pawns in a power grab which will establish Sunni Iran as the dominant Islamic force in the Gulf.
The inexorable rise of Iran as a threat to world peace is a bitter lesson in appeasement. The West has been banking on a velvet revolution in Iran where millions want freedom from harsh religious oppression.
We have backed successive regimes in the hope the people - many of them under 25 and aspiring to Western lifestyles - would turn on their leaders.
There was also a futile hope that diplomacy would stop the mullahs acquiring the know-how and hardware to build nukes...
AND THE E-MAIL:-
Subject:- Enjoyed your article...
...Especially the part where you describe Tehran as "oil-hungry".
Talk about the pot calling the unrefined heavy crude black!
Oh and remind me, which is the only country in the world to have used nuclear weapons?
One more. Which countries defence ministers have said that they would use nuclear weapons in a first strike capacity in parliament, in the last five years? (A clue for you as you seem a bit politically naive; their leaders names ar George and Tony)
Yours in amusement and disgust,
