STOP COMING WAR VS. IRAN

The United States wants to control Arab and Muslim oil and make big profits for military and other well-connected contractors. Israel and its powerful American lobbies and leaders want to crush any potential challenge to Israel’s possession of stolen Palestinian lands. Tens of millions of American Christian Zionists support Israeli expansionism because they believe it will bring Armageddon and the return of Jesus. All want to maintain a U.S.-Israel monopoly on nuclear weapons in the Middle East. There is ample evidence that to maintain this monopoly, the U.S. and Israel plan a dangerous war against Iran, and probably its ally Syria, that could kill millions of Muslims, Arabs, Israelis and even Americans. See maps.
Israel has made it clear to George Bush that it will attack Iran if the U.S. does not do so, and possibly with nuclear weapons. The Israel Lobby and its many many representatives in Congress and among the vast majority of presidential candidates also condone or promote such an attack. Dick Cheney has made it clear he wants an attack. Bush has very little alternative than to attack and his ramping up the propaganda machine to prepare America for such an attack. And current U.S. military policy clearly demands that the U.S. use nuclear weapons against Iran, either to destroy deep buried nuclear targets or in retaliation against Iranian counter-attacks. Bush needs another war to terrorize Americans, distract attention from the disastrous war in Iraq and his many scandals, and rally the people behind the leader. With Iran nuclear targets only a few hundred miles from Russian territory, and with nuclear armed Pakistan so vulnerable to a takeover by radical Muslims, any conventional or nuclear attack on Iran easily could escalate into a catastrophic regional or even world nuclear war. The probable Republican candidate John McCain has joked about bombing Iran.
