Get a clue! Is George drinking again? Is Cheney? Bush the Decider is making wacky, reckless decisions AGAIN.
Are you aware of the letter dated April 17, 2006 from prominent US Physicists regarding the use of nuclear weapons by the US?
"Thirteen of the nation's most prominent physicists have written a letter to President Bush, calling U.S. plans to reportedly use nuclear weapons against Iran 'gravely irresponsible' and warning that such action would have "disastrous consequences for the security of the United States and the world." ..."It is gravely irresponsible for the U.S. as the greatest superpower to consider courses of action that could eventually lead to the widespread destruction of life on the planet. We urge the administration to announce publicly that it is taking the nuclear option off the table in the case of all non-nuclear adversaries, present or future, and we urge the American people to make their voices heard on this matter."
Two observations:
1. Can the progressives, leftists, anti-war folks mount any type of effective protest (a la the well organized national immigration demonstrations);
2. Would it matter? Does Bush really feel "divinely" guided to singlehandedly staapocalypsecolypse and force a second coming? You may think this is crazy (and it is, but in a different way). Bush has joined the "Left Behind" Christians who are DYING for the second coming. Or rather, want others to die for the second coming. The end game here is to 'force' the end of the world. You'll go along whether you like it or not. Kevin Phillip's new book American Theocracy is as good an explanation as any.
3. What do you think about the pro-Israel lobbying pressure that began mounting late last year? "After years of unwavering support for the Bush administration, the powerful pro-Israel lobbying group AIPAC has begun to sharply criticize the White House over its handling of Iran's nuclear program. In lengthy news releases and talking points circulated to supporters on Capitol Hill, AIPAC describes the Bush administration's recent policy decisions on Iran as "dangerous," "disturbing" and "inappropriate." One background paper suggests that White House policies are actually helping Iran -- a sworn enemy of the Jewish state -- to acquire nuclear weapons."
