"The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary." ~ H.L. Mencken
Teetering on the Brink of Disaster: The NeoCons' Decision to Bomb Iran
"In mid-September 2006, CNN invited retired Air Force Colonel Sam Gardiner, previously a strategic scholar at various U.S. Army War Colleges, to discuss the probability of a U.S. military strike against Iran. Responding on how close, in his opinion, the Bush Administration was away from giving the go-ahead order regarding Iran , Gardiner unmistakably said: 'It's been given. In fact, we?ve probably been executing military operations inside Iran for at least 18 months. The evidence is overwhelming'." I view these things with a sort of shocked horror. My mind has trouble accepting that this could really happen ? the US could attack yet another nation that has not attacked us.
