On A Potential War With And Propaganda About Iran
Invasion of Iran by a US military force is possibly imminent. Likely many people cannot fully grasp the extreme devastation that such a horrifically brutal attack could bring, especially as mainstream media often covers up much of this sort of news -- news involving shocking vivid portrayals of ruin and torment.

In a very short time, say in three days, the infrastructure of Iran would be shattered, probably much more so than the initial outcome that happened in Iraq. In addition, there would exist absolute chaos.

Tehran, with nearly a twelve million population, would probably be a bloody mess -- scorched, beaten, humiliated, stripped of its human dignity and, to provide a comparative analysis, I'll add that NYC had an estimated population of approximately eight and a quarter million residents in 2006. In other words, bombing by air or invading Tehran on the ground is analogous to doing the same to Manhattan almost one and a half times over in terms of the tragic human toll.

1. This kind of thinking is so far beyond wrong, I can't
even imagine anyone considering it...not even McCain.

2. McCain and the other nutcases are probably thinking about it right now.
I don't blame this writer for this worry. We have been run by homocidal criminals for many years. If the author is 18, he was only 9 when Junior stole 2000.

3. It looks to me that there is a third way in the Iranian politics
One that is nationalistic but reject the fundamentalist that are fighting to get or stay in power

They portray the election battle as a struggle between conservative Pres. Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and moderate Mir Hussein Moussavi. The election battle, however, is actually a struggle over power and money, not democracy.

Ahmadinejad is cast as unpopular, and most coverage presumes that he stole the elections from Moussavi. Many Western journalists compare Moussavi with Pres. Barack Obama and broadcast news show frequent images of bloody demonstrations as evidence that Iranians like Moussavi because he represents change. The truth, however, is completely the opposite.

4. Unvetted, kooky horseshit from a "print your own" website.
The disordered rantings of a disturbed and not too swift mind.
