War with Iran

Iran: At last somebody has the balls to come out and say what we’ve all suspected for the past year and a half – we’re (the USA) going to war with Iran. See the second article from top of the page “Iran: Former German official says war imminent.”

Nobody wants this war; frankly we’ve had enough fighting over the past five years. As we tramped around the Middle East since 2002, Iran got increasingly nervous when they peered out and found American troops to the east in Iraq and to the west in Afghanistan. They should also have got wise.

Instead their politicians have decided to taunt Israel and the world with threats of nuclear annihilation. They haven’t even pretended to hide their nuclear ambitions, and to all intents and purposes, give the distinct impression that they want to go to war. Why? Because they do.
The Iranian president, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, wants war for two reasons. First, any outside influence, particularly from the “great Satan” (America) will divert an increasingly upset population’s attention away from him and his failing domestic economic policies. In attacking Iran the US would be solidifying his position of power. We’d actually be doing him a favor. Second, he is a believer in the great apocalypse that a war in Iran will ignite fulfilling a prophesy to hasten back the Islamic Messiah.

As Mahmoud scans the night sky in his jammies from his balcony prior to slumber, he’s praying with all his might that he gets to see that image of tracers lighting up the Tehran night sky that we saw on CNN during the first night of the Gulf War. Praying, begging. “Bring it on,” he pleads, “bring it on.”
