Operation Iranian Provocation

Although the latest mainstream propaganda about Iran's nuclear program is showing more of the same fear mongering used to lead the United States into a war with Iraq, people seem to be less threatened by this attempt to prompt another war as the political lies have caught up with them. It's more political theater but there is still too many Americans subconsciously accepting what the seemingly "official" mainstream arena tells them as fact and they treat it no different then cheering for their favorite football team.

Unlike the Iraq war, a war with Iran would be much more difficult, many times more catastrophic, extremely complex in nature especially with regards to a Chinese opposition to the policy against Iran. The Iranians are no strangers to understanding war politics and are known for creativity in these matters which would account for their bold statements and threats following growing U.S. provocation and I'd suspect many surprises that would be very harmful to a western military presence which would probably come from their allies in the east and possibly even Russia.

After all the coverage and all the hype, still nobody has shown a shred of evidence supporting allegations of a nuclear weapons program. Even if Iran had a nuclear program or even a nuclear weapon, who can honestly say they would just launch these weapons in whichever direction they want without thinking about consequences. There are several nuclear countries, the worst of which being Pakistan, who are much more unstable then Iran when it comes to "trustworthiness" with a nuclear weapon. Personally, I don't think anyone should develop nuclear weapons in any case because I can't think of a single positive outcome from it's use but while we're loading up on such an arsenal, I don't see how we can dictate who does and does not carry such weaponry. It's only real use is to show intimidation.

In the United States judicial system, you're required to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that a defendant is guilty of any charges against him but when it comes to our foreign policy, we are willing to sign the death warrant of potentially millions of innocent people with little more than just the words of war mongers. These are the same innocent people most Americans can't readily identify as people who have daily lives just like ours where they go to work, raise children, go to school, care for each other and have problems just like we do and the only difference is that they live in another part of the world and in this case, Iran.

The name of the game currently is to keep poking the Iranians with a stick until they react with force and that'll be the same moment the media warriors go to town on Iran and make sure the focal point will be "Iran attacks US" and the American football fans will come out for another showing of false patriotism to support a war which will be the last image everyone carries with them as the death count starts rolling in. I suspect this sort of action will take place a little closer to summer or by the latest, fall of 2012 when Obama will need support the most because as it stands, he hasn't a chance in hell at being re-elected.

The video below clearly lays out the facts surrounding the allegations of nuclear weapons and the falsehoods coming out of the IAEA.
