After Iraqââ¬âIran, World War IV? By Sam Francis
Forget September 11th. For the last several weeks, the commission investigating the terrorist attacks of that date have grilled just about every policy wonk, major or minor, past or present, this side of the moons of Jupiter in an effort to find somebodyââ¬âmainly the Bush administrationââ¬âto blame. The administration may share blame, but unless someone uncovers more of a bombshell than has yet exploded, it's probable no one is to blame but the terrorists themselves.
The point is that who's to blame for 9/11 is not the big story. The big story is who got us into Iraq and how.
We know who. It was the neoconservative mafia that dominates foreign and national security policy in this administration and the Republican propaganda factories known as the "conservative media." Inside the administration their leaders are or have been Deputy Defense Secretary Paul Wolfowitz, former Defense Advisory Board chairman Richard Perle, and various and sundry officials in the Pentagon, State Department, or National Security Council. Their role has been thoroughly documented in any number of articles, news stories and reports by independent investigators.
Compared to that story, the fake question of whose fault the 9/11 attacks were fades into meaninglessness, though that's what the commission, its witnesses and a good part of the national press have been bickering about and thereby sidetracking attention from the more important issue.
But the question of who got us into Iraq begins to fade compared to the question now looming, which is, how will the war with Iraq blow up into a full-scale war in the Middle East that may engulf the whole region and the world?
Instead of sniffing the bitter coffee that the escalating guerrilla war against the U.S. presence in Iraq is emitting, the neo-con mafia and its allies are now exploiting the escalation to badger for yet another warââ¬âthis time against Iran, if not the people of Iraq itself. Last week, conservative guru William F. Buckley, Jr., suggested (but pulled back from actually endorsing) using poison gas against Iraqis.
Saddam Hussein's use of poison gas "against his own people" was and remains one of the Bush administration's main arguments for why war against him was justified.
The irony of Mr. Buckley's modest proposal to use the same weapons ourselves is rather staggeringââ¬âthe moral equivalent of Abraham Lincoln setting up as a slave trader after the Civil War.
But calculated decimation of the Iraqi people by the United States is by no means the limit of what establishment conservatives and their neo-con friends are willing to support. New York Post columnist Ralph Peters offered his own suggestion in a column this week headlined "Iraqââ¬âWhat to do: Drop the hammer now." [NY Post, April 12, 2004]
The "hammer" Mr. Peters instructs President Bush to "drop" consists of the firm rejection of "any 'settlement,' any halt short of the annihilation of the killers who want to destroy the future of Iraq," and the probable annihilation of Iran as well, because according to "at least two sources exclusive to The [New York] Post," Iran is behind all the troubles in Iraq. "Moqtada al-Sadr is Iran's man in Shi'a Iraq," Mr. Peters assures us.
It's not that Iraqis themselves really don't like the military occupation of their country by a foreign force (us), or that the 60 percent Shiite majority in Iraq don't want to see their country and their future turned over to what in their eyes is little more than a gang of infidels and pagan barbarians obsessed with sex and money.
It must all be the fault of Iran, and therefore we need to "annihilate" it along with Saddam Hussein, his sons, the Taliban, Osama bin Laden, and everyone else who's not with the program for Global Democracy enforced with a few whiffs of poison gas.
The advice to this administration to wage "World War IV" against the entire Arabic and Muslim world, starting with Iran, is not new.
Neoconservative guru Norman Podhoretz urged that even before the war in an article in Commentary magazine last year, while neoconservative globo-cop Michael Ledeen was slobbering for war with Iran before, during and after the war. Last week in the neocon Weekly Standard, Reuel Marc Gerecht, a protégé of Richard Perle at the American Enterprise Institute, worried that "building democracy in the Muslim Middle East" "won't happen at all if the Bush administration pulls back from its 'forward strategy of freedom'." Not A Diversion, April 12, 2004.
There seems to be little sign that the Bush administration is not still controlled by the same persons who brought us the present and deepening disaster in Iraq.
If Mr. Bush stays in office, the signs are that the same people will bring us another one in Iran and wherever else they are permitted to lay their deadly games.

Sadam used poison gas not on his own people but people who resided on his land...... Like white American killing American Indians?.
How many of them did he killed? 500?, 600? or 700?,,,,,,, the amount doesn't matter, what matters is that the US with their Uranium tipped weapons have killed more Iraqis that Sadam ever did,,,,,,, and the killing still going on at this very moment, and I am not counting those killed by bombs, canon fire, attack helicopters, missiles,,,,,SH*T,,, I am talking about Iraq or what the Jews are doing to the Palestinian people?????????????
The reason that the American soldiers are acting like the IDF is that the Jews are now training the American soldiers to act like they do, this is taking place in Ft. Bragg and one more place, also they are in Iraq acting as "advisors" with our troops in Iraq.
We can not win a war against 1.5 billion people, the lesson that we learned in Vietnam and now gone and we must go to school all over again, I am only sorry to see so many or our soldiers die.

A retired in 1995 Air Force Commander, had an interview in the Bolshevik, filthy Oregonigan newspaper. This Retired General was Tony McPeak, not sure of the spelling, but still he said he did not think " article of Feb or early March 03 " that it would a good idea to have our soldiers feet in/on the Ancient City of Baghdad for U.S. If we do any thing to the Persian People, please can any sane straight white male state way? Please say so. Real Christians or just a spiritual men could not be for this? I would hope only an insane mamman worshiping "NATION" hating, White hating, and or a the Apostasy Church nutz could be for doing this and by doing so, further screw up the remaining WESTERN Civilization to pieces. From HELSINKI TO AUCKLAND why is it we only have white whores in our government. I think we at O.D. know why. By the way the Bankster tribe in England most likely have there reservation in that new shelter that was built for 7 billion and completed early last year.. Geee all our leaders have shelters rigged for 7 years of haa,haa, huh? I heard Mickey Savage for few minutes on my vehicle radio today. The guy is a Zio Nut. By the way, I was suprised to hear that Rush was on the Radio, not that I heard it,but an ad for his show, but I pray white men have woken up to these radio treason bums.
