US Trying to Provoke Iran into War

According to a report in The New Yorker magazine published online on Sunday, June 29, 2008, the U.S. is escalating covert operations against Iran. According to the article funding for the covert escalation, for which Bush requested up to $400 million, was approved by congressional leaders. The article, written by NYT reporter Seymour Hersh cites current and former military, intelligence and congressional sources.

The hypocrisy of the US government in dealing with Iran is incredible. While the US military and congressmen, and Whitehouse staff and our great leader frequently make charges that the Iranians are aiding our opponents in Iraq we have an active ongoing and escalating effort under way in Iran designed to bring about regime change.

Can you imagine the uproar in the United States if Iran were making the same kind of efforts in the US? The arrogance of the present US government knows no bounds. They think that the US has the absolute right to interfere in any government’s internal affairs in any way that we choose while declaring similar activities within the US off limits to all.

Our constant meddling in the affairs of governments around the world, especially those whose preside over nations that have valuable natural resources, like, duh, oil, guarantees a future full of constant wars.

Too bad Zimbabwe doesn’t have any known oil reserves. Robert Mugabe is one bad dude who deserves to be taken out by the world community. If we are to fight a war or two why not at least make them moral wars. Killing for oil instead of principals will surely bring bad karma to the US.
