Do We Have The Courage To Stop War With Iran?

One headline - two stories. Both are terribly important and shouldn't be missed.

From No Quarter and from No Quarter Redux.

A couple snippets. One from each story:

Day after day, almost hour by hour, fresh confirmation comes of the impending American attack on Iran. Yet the same surreal malaise that hung over public affairs before the war of aggression against Iraq has descended again. Everyone knows the war is coming and nothing will stop it, but the strange, ludicrous shadow play of sham “debate” goes on, as if there were some kind of political or diplomatic maneuver out there that could deflect the Bush-Cheney junta from its long-chosen course. But nothing will stop them, just as nothing — not even 10 million people in the streets around the world, the largest protest in human history — stopped them from the rape of Iraq.

Why do I feel like the proverbial skunk at a Labor Day picnic? Sorry; but I thought you might want to know that this time next year there will probably be more skunks than we can handle. I fear our country is likely to be at war with Iran—and with the thousands of real terrorists Iran can field around the globe.

It is going to happen, folks, unless we put our lawn chairs away on Tuesday, take part in some serious grass-roots organizing, and take action to prevent a wider war—while we still can.

I've been harping on this for a very long time. All indicators are there. Unless Americans tell Bush and Cheney to go fuck themselves, its gonna happen. And you won't believe the shit storm that'll follow.

Yes, I know you're worried about your house mortgage, your inadequate schools, that bridge you cross daily on the way to work, but this is far bigger than all that. This will kill many more thousands than the Iraq fiasco. This is probably going to result in a return of the military draft. This is gonna drain the last few shekels from the US money supply. This is gonna kill many many more Americans.

On the bright side, its gonna make the military industrial complex much richer. Invest now and hope you live to see the returns.

Folks, this ain't a game. It ain't PSP. The soldiers are American children, sons, daughters, wives, husbands, mothers, fathers. They don't deserve to end up in flag-draped coffins long before their time and neither do the Iranians.
