provoke a war with Iran??
um... you do realize that Iran has been making threat after threat after threat against the US and Israel, has made it VERY clear that they intend to pursue nuclear weapons, in order to wage war against the US and Israel and are currently sending insurgent forces into Iraq to keep the government there from stabilizing?
it sounds very much to me like THEY are the ones 'provoking' us, rather than the other way around.
What threats? Misquotes from the pro Israeli media? Like this ‘wipe Israel off the map’ nonsense that has been proven to be a misquote but yet still widely quoted continually from politicians and their allies in the media? (1) Also, Iran’s president has threatened to attack American interest (in retaliation if the federal government decides to strike first.) Simple logic is all we need here…why would a head of state want a war with a nation (the United States) that could destroy much of the civilizations and nations around the world with just their bombs? Anybody can argue if Iran’s president is crazy or not, but there is no proof that he wants a war with the United States. If anything it appears to be the other way around, the United States federal government continues to provoke a war with Iran, this has been made clear by the way navy ships were sent to Iran…obviously to provoke a war with them. (2)
As far as these insurgent forces going to Iraq, where is the proof for that? There isn’t, it is just neo-conservative smear tactics which is obvious if one actually looks at the so called ‘increasingly sophisticated bombs’ as evidence that Iran has supplied them to Iraqi insurgents. These bombs were labeled in English…in English by a nation that speaks Persian written in a version of the Arabic script. But does that matter if it is just propaganda?? (3)
as for why we're not in Syria, good question. as it is, i think our forces are a little thinned out now, due to the amount of troops we have in Afghanistan and Iraq. had we gone in earlier, rather than waiting for the UN to do something, we may have got to the WMD before Hussein moved them out.
Indeed, the United States military is very thinned out by fighting a war on two fronts…so if these weapons went to Syria then shouldn’t the morally superior neo-conservative regime within the United States federal government be attacking and overthrowing the Syrians to get these weapons rather then attack the morally reprehensible Iranian government?
as for the obvious big stick up your butt towards Israel, i'd say you've been fed a load of crap by those with a vested interest in keeping you ignorant.
And you have a stick up your but about Iran and Iraq, so how does that make you any different from me? Does Israel have a moral upper hand in this conflict. Does the United States federal government have a moral upper hand? In my opinion, none of us really do…I don’t hate Israel I hate the actions of their government. That isn’t the Israelis fault, they are powerless to do anything without a cohesive political opposition group which will most likely be smashed by Zionist (many are of EUROPEAN decent, not Jewish). So in other words, it is a battle of political ideologies and as usual it has racial undertones to it. My knowledge of the Zionist racial state comes from the Zionist themselves, not propaganda…rather admissions to the obvious.
i'm actually reading a very interesting book right now called 'Because They Hate: A Survivor of Islamic Terror Warns America' by Brigitte Gabriel.
Ms. Gabriel grew up in Lebanon during the 70's and was there when Islamic forces started the Lebanese civil war.
she describes how Islamic forces turned what was once the 'Paris of the Middle East' into, basically, a toilet.
the Islamic invaders would come into the peaceful neighborhoods and stage their bombing attacks against Israel from there, knowing that when Israel fired back, it was civilians who would take the brunt of the return fire.
then, these liars would go to the media and talk about how cold blooded and inhumane the Jews were and how because of their 'unprovoked' attacks against Lebanese civilians, they should be 'driven into the sea.'
when Ms. Gabriel had to cross into Israel to take her mother to a hospital [the 'cold blooded' Jewish community were willing to give free medical care to anybody who needed it, Christian, Jew, Muslim or whoever], she had to stay for a few weeks and got to see the differences between what she'd been brought up to believe about the Jews and what was really true.
over and over again in this book, Ms. Gabriel implores the readers to not buy into all the lies the media has pushed about Israel. she specifically names CNN as one news agency that admitted that they distort some news stories about the atrocities of Islam, simply because they fear retribution [and i do remember when that story broke... about CNN's admission of fear over journalistic integrity... which is why i rely on FOX news above any of the lefty news agencies].
Ms. Gabriel says she can see how those on the left in this country protest against America's war on terror and cry outrage at what they see as 'unfair' treatment of Muslim nations at the hands of the US government. she goes on to say it was America's apathy that helped the terrorist mentality to grow and that they're now using our freedoms, our laws, our rights and sense of equality against us. she said that for all those screaming out against this government and blaming it for all the woes in the Middle East, what they fail to realize is that if the US does nothing about it and the terrorists have their way, they'll overrun this country and that 'freedom of speech' the lefties are so eager to trot out against their own country will be the first thing to go.
There are several points I would like to make here. One I’m not against the Jewish state, rather I’m against the post war powers and their mistreatment of other peoples (including Jews and Europeans) just to satisfy their political agenda.
With regards to Islam, it isn’t an intolerant religion, especially toward the Jews. On the contrary, historically Islam has been very favorable toward the Jews by allowing them to seek refuge when they were persecuted in Europe for various reasons for economic exploitation etc. The Ottomans allowed the Jews to be in their highest bodies of government and the Moorish invaders of Spain did the same thing. Islamic tolerance for the Jews only started more wars between Europeans, Jews and Muslims with the former seeing them as synonymous and expelling them from their land as was the case in Spain and the famous Spanish Inquisition. The current hostility with Israel and the Muslim nations has to do with race and territory…not so much with religion.
Is Brigitte Gabriel referring to Beirut as ‘Paris of the Middle East’, if so the Israeli military destroyed that city, it was the Israeli army that destroyed billions in their property and killed well over 10,000 people…that was in 1982. Also Ariel Sharon, Israel’s prime minister was held responsible for the massacres of over 1000 Palestinian men, women, and children as the Israel Kahan Commission shows.
Also, if she is so angry at the Islamic forces for starting that civil war then for the sake of constancy she should also be angry at the Israeli government for supporting rival factions within Lebanon. For example, Moshe Sharett diaries show that the Israeli government tried everything they could do to foster that Lebanese civil war.

Brigitte Gabriel refers to CNN being biased against Israel in favor of Muslims? It figures…Ted Turner owned that, he also had a great deal of Jewish people that work for him in key positions. CNN has never taken any hard positions against the Jewish state…if they did Americans would be aware of Israel’s spying against America during 9/11 for example. (5)
So what we have here is a shift in political smear campaigns…first it was the anti Semitic right wingers that hated Israel…now we have the left wingers thrown into it? It is no longer a battle for the left or the right…it is a battle of the fittest with race playing the biggest role in world events once again. This is a fine example of the might is right principle. In a nutshell…Israel is a nation that is successful, so to keep it that way there needs to be some serious compromises. The West has been successful…to keep it that way we should do the same thing.
