Re: it almost guarantees an invasion on (Iran).

Have you read Stephen Kinzer's "All the Shah's Men" by chance?

Your calculation of the situation leaves out one aspect that I'm never forgetful of. I.e., that heinous war criminals destroy far more than they ever save. And the Israelis and Americans will be heinous war criminals should they continue to either propagandize with their deceitful pretexts or attempt to provoke a border incident with Iran.

In this battle of wits, the Iranians have the clear moral superiority. Both the Israeli and American governments are notorious and serial war criminals and totally reprehensible in their unmitigated gall and aggressiveness.

Two quotes come to mind here......

ISRAEL'S STRATEGY OF INTENTIONAL TERRORISM

In Israeli Prime Minister Moshe Sharatt's personal diaries, there is an excerpt from May of 1955 in which he quotes Moshe Dayan as follows: "[Israel] must see the sword as the main, if not the only, instrument with which to keep its morale high and to retain its moral tension. Toward this end it may, no - it must - invent dangers, and to do this it must adopt the method of provocation-and-revenge...And above all - let us hope for a new war with the Arab countries, so that we may finally get rid of our troubles and acquire our space." Quoted in Livia Rokach, "Israel's Sacred Terrorism." Source: The Origins of the Palestine-Israel Conflict, p. 15

and....

"In the counsels of Government, we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the Military Industrial Complex. The potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists, and will persist. We must never let the weight of this combination endanger our liberties or democratic processes." --President Dwight D. Eisenhower, Farewell Speech, January, 1961

On January 20th, we can kiss democracy goodbye. The full madness of unbridled greed with a mercenary army at its beck-and-call on a sacred mission from God will be the end of our Republic.

Onward, Christian Hypocrites!
