other than the recycling of paranoia?

nuke the world!

This really doesnt surprise me.. This is not just paranoia..
In August I was at the Big Green Gathering - where among the speakers in the Green forum was a guy (ex-MI5??) who was saying then (Aug) that we could expect the US & UK to start rumours against Iran as a pretext to build up to attacking them - at the time it was muted as being a possiblility of 'pinning' terrorist activity on Iran - which was tried a few weeks ago with the Hezebollah (sp) road side bombs in Iraq connection, that didn't seem to do the job & now the nuclear progamme is being questioned..
It's all a smokescreen.. Yes, Iran is defiant, Israel has nuclear power (which at this stage is ALL Iran says it wants & is not researching weapons) why shouldn't they - apart from the pollution of nuclear waste & the cost of it.. It's a very hypocritical stance that US, UK & other nuclear powers can say who can or can't have the same energy.
This seems to be part of the US's imperialism drive - the 22nd C America empire - while they try to take away most of our civil libertys under the pretence of making us 'safer' just watch the most recent Star Wars film & watch how the 'counsel' signs away their freedom..... (yes I know that's fiction - but the principles are the same - watch it & think of the US situation at the moment)
Back to the point - there does need to be an increase in anti-war activities. The US is leading the UK & the rest of the world down a very dangerous path in it's quest for empire America. Iran isn't a goodie goodie nation I know, I'm not naive, BUT america isn't exactly a paragon of virtue either....
Americans everywhere - GET BUSH OUT! it's your patriotic duty - impeach him - look up the report into the last elections & the high possibility of electronic fraud being carried out...
I have kids & I don't want them growing up under the threat of the 'bully in the playground' America starting wars involving nuclear weapons.. These 'tactical'-nukes are in direct contravention of the Nuclear NPT. They will kill 000s of people & leave radioactive craters. America wil use them if they can (they havent been able to test them yet & they do like using their new toys).
See throught the lies - don't get drawn into the 'should Iran have nuclear power' debate - just keep opposing marching Imperialism. Read your Chomsky - look through the lies - read between the lines - look at what's not being questioned.
Anyhow - lunchtime...
peace all
DTH

There are those that believe the US is going to plan a direct attack on Iran...but not before the US Gov leads the people to believe its "necessary". (and they will, because its easy to do) The American people do not support war, but the average American "sheeple" are a naive specie....they believe what they are told often with out question, they believe what they see with out seeing the illusion, and they will follow anyone who waves the American flag. The current adminsitration could not get away with a war in Iran unless the American public feels compelled to go to war. The United Stats is isolationist, they don't really socialize with others around them, and overall their History has a lot to do with that. Americans would rather keep to themselves. Unfortunetly the world is closing in around them....including their own government. Despit the impression the American government potrays to the rest of the world, Americans do not want war. They would much rather watch their "reality shows" and eat fast food. The only way the US Government could rally enough support for a war in Iran is to stage an attack on its own people and blame it on a target...possibly Iran..possibly someone else, depending on where "they" want their next stronghold. It is not an outlandish idea....because they have done it before, and they will continue to do it until the American people unite for truth. Whatever lays ahead for the future of this world lays on the shoulders of those who are aware, and seek truth.
