There are
people speaking astutely in the United States about this manufactured crisis
with Iran. Tulsi Gabbard, the congresswoman is one and Ron Paul, the former
congressman and libertarian, is another.
Who wants a
war with Iran?
Apart from
the greedy merchants of death connected with the military industry and the
maniacs who feel that a global war between nuclear armed powers is winnable,
and will, like the aftermath of World War One and Two, reformat the debt-ridden
and collapsing international economic system, the two nations who want to see
America attack Iran are the State of Israel and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
Those two
would gladly fight Iran to the last American body.
Perhaps many
Americans have short memories? Or is it gung-ho patriotism at work? Or
heretical dispensationalist-pretribunational Christian Zionists praying for an
end times war which could draw in the Chinese and the Russians?
As Russian
President Vladimir Putin recently warned, an attack on Iran would be a
“catastrophe with unpredictable consequences”.
Welcome to
Armageddon folks.
