1. It is clear, they are going to do it.

This PR blitz of all things Iran is very familiar. The media is manipulated so easily. The War Criminals just frame frame frame until everyone is participating in unnecessary debates about invented threats. They have dumped too much time, energy, money and talk for anything other than a bombing as an outcome. I was skeptical for a long time. I thought there was no way they could do it. But, then I remember thinking the same thing in 2002.

Like Iraq, they have no *plan* for what happens next. Impeachment and arrest is the only thing that will stop this giant ball from rolling on.

2. I fear you are correct, sure seems as if that is what they want,

and we will all suffer for it, if not the whole world.
