Who's next?

More creative wackiness from those guys and gals at Hasbara Barbera tm

You've got to give them an award for chutzpah, the following ad broadcast in America today telling people how poor old Israel has been under constant attack and how it is all the fault of Iran and we need to stop them getting nuclear weapons (despite the fact that high ranking intel agents say there is no weaponisation program in Iran ->  http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2008/dec/10/official-stands-by-iran-nuke-report/).

I was particularly impressed where she says that 'a nuclear Iran is a threat to peace', no-one in America been watching the news for the last 3 weeks? Is this the kind of peace that is spread through DIME bombs, WP shells, cluster bombs, depleted uranium, Hellfire missiles, F-16s and Apache helicopters? Is this the kind of peace that involves killing over 1,300 people, the majority of which appear to be civilians? Is this the kind of peace that cuts off water to nearly half a million people? Is it the kind of peace that leads to things like Qana, Sabra-Shatlia, Deir Yassin and their ilk? Or is it peace on our terms or no peace?

Bombing Gaza didn't drag Iran in to a confrontation, maybe Lebanon or Syria is next. I think they'd stop short of attacking Iran directly as it would be a hard sell to the American public to join in with that (although if blatant propaganda like this can be broadcast with a straight face who knows?).
