Wait is this instant replay feature working? That subtitle said Iran not Iraq.

Has the whole Iraq thing gotten a little old? Are we tired of hearing about it and just don’t care anymore? Why is it that there are no massive protests against unsuccessful continued involvement in Iraq? Why have we forgotten all of the controversy behind the U.S. decision to unilaterally INVADE another country?

Well, he is doing it. Right now he is doing it. Planning his invasion. Are you paying attention? Because no one was in Iraq until it was too late. The UN proceedings and foreshadowing the media is already casting our new enemy in the suitable light for as dubious to prime us. But primer is thin and when one looks, one can see through it. Remember all of the lies and deceit and blame shifting for the two years prior to the attack on Saddam? I do.

Those of us who have forgotten or taken the it’s-too-late-now stance are about to be reminded, because yes ladies and gentlemen, it is coming. The shock and awe will arise again and Bush will roar. Iran, watch out! We don’t care that you were our ally until we declared you part of the axis of evil. We don’t care that all of your neighbors, who may be legitimate threats to the United States, have nuclear capabilities and you are seeking them for stability. You don’t look like us, you are all Arab over there, and you are bad. Because, that is right folks, in Bush’s America the national skin-color is white and its national religion is Christianity (unless you are giving him your money, then he only sees green, for example the attempt to sell our ports).

The same process has begun that we let happen last time. The stage is being set for the Bush show. The U.S. is calling for action against Iran at the United Nations. Fast forward a few months and we are invading. Fast-forward a year and thousands of our soldiers are dead and probably a hundred thousand innocents have passed with them. Fast-forward another few months and we have no idea what we were doing there in the first place, we are stuck. Remember now?

Iran is not Iraq, a war on terror that wreaks havoc, terror and more hatred is an inefficient one. In fact, wait. Well, that is odd. I cannot think of one single war that was actually an efficient problem solving method. Maybe we should stop talking about thinking outside of the box and actually get out of it physically.
