Heading for Inevitable Disaster

"As far as I am concerned," he said, "I do not harbor the slightest doubt that the United States is about to commit, and lead the world toward, the greatest error in its history."
Humanity will suffer. Castro long feared nuclear destruction, perhaps eventual annihilation. In a July 2010 videotaped interview, he expected Washington and Israel to target Iran, saying:
"When they launch war, they’re going to launch it there. It cannot help but be nuclear. I believe the danger of war is growing a lot. They are playing with fire." .................. M O R E: By Stephen Lendman, 24 Mar 2012 .........

A recent International Crisis Group (ICG) report was more measured. Titled, "In Heavy Waters: Iran's Nuclear Program, the Risk of War and Lessons from Turkey," it favors giving diplomacy a chance to convince Iran to give up its legitimate nuclear program, then consider other options if fail. ICG implied but stopped short of endorsing war.
Scoundrel media’s common theme is Iran’s alleged existential threat. Decisive action to prevent it is vital. Failure poses unacceptable risks. War's the last option, but important to wage if others fail to convince Iran to give up what it doesn't have and has no intention of pursuing.
Castro's right warning of inevitable disaster, and saying he has no doubt it's coming. Given America's rage for war, forewarned is forearmed for essential grassroots action.
Nothing else potentially can stop what no one should tolerate, given stakes able to threaten humanity. If that's not incentive enough, what is?
