		<description>&lt;p&gt;The first bomb that falls on Iranian soil is akin to an unsheathed dagger in the culture of the Middle East. It can not be sheeted again until blood is drawn; drawing blood from the Iranian point of view may not be tolerable for most Americans. And there may be no other way to prevent it from happening other than completely obliterating Iran as a country and interning all Iranians throughout the US and the world&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;“Really, how close are we to a joint Congressional-military mutiny? &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Could this be pushed forward?”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Would Congress have the courage, there is Russ Feingold in the Senate and Rep. Hinchey and his 39 Democrats who had the courage to sign a letter last Oct asking Fitz to investigate the Niger forgeries and, I think, they asked Fitz to handle the Impeachment Investigation in the House and Fitz very recently sent a letter to Hinchey saying his mandate did not include the Niger forgeries.  I still can’t figure out why a smart man like Fitz took SIX MONTHS to figure out his mandate did not include the Niger forgeries.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Keep commenting on all the blogs that a military coup is preferable to letting bushco go ahead with the destruction of Iraq, Iran, our military, our economy and there are always the detention centers spoken of by Oliver North in the Iran Contra hearings.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;One of the least discussed aspects of this issue is Iran and the NPT.  Most of us here are probably relatively well educated but how many of us really understand the basic premise of the NPT?  Boiling it down, the signatories give up pursuit of nuclear weapons in exchange for international help in putting together nuclear power plants for their country.  Iran has signed on to the treaty and is looking to build reactors to free up its oil for sale to bring in badly needed currency.  What the US is demanding is that the Iranians voluntarily abandon what is their due under this treaty, and this is *never* mentioned in any media reports about it.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Needless to say, this needs to become something that we talk about constantly, lest the issue continue to be framed in just the way that the Bushies have framed it:  that Iran is being required to give up pursuit of “the bomb”.  We also need to talk about the irony of the world’s largest nuclear power demanding this in the first place whilst concomitantly encouraging nations like India to increase their nuclear armory.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;And most importantly, we need to shake off this “we can stop this if we beat them in the next election” dreamscape that some of us seem to be living in.  WE DON’T HAVE UNTIL THE ELECTION TO NULLIFY THIS!  This attack could, literally, happen at any time.  These jokers are counting on the country “pulling together” and “standing behind their President” if they start another war, and will likely do it *before* the election as a part of their unbelievably cynical political planning.  Action has to be taken now, without any delay, without waiting for someone to organize a giant peace march (I urge you to recall just how effective that strategy was before the Iraq war), meaning, if you want any sense of normalcy in the remainder of your life, you’d better pull out all of the stops right now, even if it means doing what I did last night, standing by my lonesome on the busiest corner in town, holding a “No war in Iran” sign until traffic grew too sparse to continue.  I was stunned when people who stopped had heard nothing of this and went into near meltdown when the “nuclear option” was brought up.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Please, think about how nuclear war would effect you, your children and their children and stop waiting for someone to organize a protest for you to attend.  Call every friend you have and compel them to hit the bricks with you.  Make yourself seen. Others will join you (I’ve got at least a dozen meeting me tonight and I know it will grow exponentially).  This is a goddamned NUCLEAR WAR we’re talking about folks!  If that doesn’t get us off of our asses then….maybe we’re not worth saving.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;Itâ€™s time to consider leaving… or fighting. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Most Liberals have no taste for big guns, so, my advice is to leave… &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I have no illusions that very soon, if the Bushunta continues down this road, that members of the Left AND the Right, will bear arms against the BusHunta.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I’d rather be in Canada, documenting the atrocities of the BusHunta against my fellow Americans, and helping to get others out as efficiently as possible.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I’ve got a good Big Gun, but, I’m in a place where I’m not likely to have any support where I live. So… I’m planning on the big move. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Bush is insane, and he will NEVER back down… All he KNOWS is escalation.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We’re FUCT… Accept that, and plan accordingly.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;–mf&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;The smart person will plan for the following:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;– Purchase a one-month supply of Potassium Iodide for everyone in your household.&lt;br /&gt;
– Buy a Geiger Counter.&lt;br /&gt;
– Update your Passport NOW.&lt;br /&gt;
– Get in touch with Canadian Immigration and get the paperwork together for dual-citizenship.&lt;br /&gt;
– Set money aside NOW, for the time will come with short notice.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The time to take to the streets is coming soon… We’ll need to make it on the scale of the French Labour Strikes, and shortly thereafter, as George views mass-protests as mere “focus groups,” to get the hell out of this country, and leave it to its own lot… sad as that is.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;These bastards are out to kill us all, come hell or high-water… and we’ve already seen both during this imbecile’s watch…&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It’s time to consider leaving.&lt;/p&gt;
