The Iraq War Morphs Into the Iranian War

by Paul Craig Roberts

It is 1939 all over again. The world waits helplessly for the next act of naked aggression by rogue states. Only this time the rogue states are not the Third Reich and Fascist Italy. They are the United States and Israel.

The targeted victims are not Poland and France, but Iran, Syria, the remains of the Palestinian West Bank and southern Lebanon.

The American mass media are overjoyed. War coverage attracts viewers and sells advertising.

The neoconservatives are ecstatic. ...

It is a great article, except for the "EVERY presidential candidate will do whatever to keep Israel happy" part. Ron Paul is in the race and is picking up delegates like crazy. It's strange that Only RON PAUL agree's with everything you have said here, and yet you won't even mention his name. Seems like his candidacy would be great news for freedom loving people who are tired of the coming NWO and the existing welfare/warfare/Police-state that was once a Constitutionally driven country envied, and now hated, by the world.

May I respectfully request the Honorable Mr. Roberts PLEASE write another article encouraging China to start dumping dollars NOW and post it as an open letter in China. Obviously China and Russia are in the crosshairs as well as Iran and everyone else on the planet who opposes global dictatorship. If the Chinese allow the neocons to get control of Middle Eastern oil the neocons can turn the tables and say to China, if you dump those dollars now, you won't be able to get enough oil. One of the best summaries I have read regarding the entire neocon-global domination crowd was posted on goldseek.com and I strongly recommend everyone read it - http://www.goldseek.com/tools/print.php - If China and Russia wait too long to act there would appear to be no way of turning back. Perhaps it is already too late. Perhaps the Chinese believe they have an agreement of some sort with the neocons; who knows what goes on behind closed doors? If so it is a pact with the devil indeed.

This next needless war against Iran, will probably be "provoked" by an incident at sea. The two "obstructionist" admirals have been replaced by Bush flunkies. The provocation may well be another Gulf of Tonkin fake attack. I doubt this administration will do as Hitler did on the Polish-German border: kill prisoners and put them in Iranian uniforms. They'll leave the dirty work for the Isrealis, as usual. Meanwhile, I wonder how many Americans realize that Iran has 70,000,000 citizens, 95% literacy rate (may be higher than ours), and is as big as all of California, Texas, Arizona, and New Mexico, combined! And huge mountain ranges to boot. Furthermore, unlike Iraq, Iran is a nation of a united people, unlike Vietnam. Conventional bombing will not be of any use other than to more than double the landmass size and number of our enemies. Keep moving, you people---nothing to see here, you people---did you hear the big news about Obama's preacher?
