Attack Iran, no good outcome

The "Attack Iran" lunatics are out in full force. The idea that Iran is an existential threat to the U.S. or Israel is patent nonsense. The U.S. and Israel could incinerate Iran in a matter of minutes, and the Iranians know it.Iran does not have the military capacity to take the offense against any nation, much less the combined military might of America and Israel.

Similar to the run-up to the debacle in Iraq, Bush and gang are cooking the intelligence on Iran, ignoring any evidence that does not support their evil ambitions. Like a bully drunk with power over his weaker peers, our leaders threaten Iran, pushing them into a corner, hoping the Iranians will lash out first, in defense, providing us the pretext to rain destruction and death upon millions of innocents.

There can be no good outcome if this madness is allowed to play out. Thousands, perhaps millions, will die, and America will lose any moral authority it once held. Nations around the world will rush to produce nuclear weapons to protect themselves against aggression. The world economy will reel under the pressure of staggering oil price increases.

Stop this war before it begins, demand the impeachment of Bush and Cheney, and tell Obama and McCain that America must find it's moral compass. War must become the last resort,not the first.
