**AmericaÃ¢â¬â¢s Empire Builders set sights on Iran**[/font][/color] [color=black][font=Verdana][/font][/color] [color=black][font=Verdana][/font][/color][font=Times New Roman]These days the motto of the U.S. Tourist Board could be: "Come and visit America, before America comes to visit you...Ã¢â¬Â [/font][color=black][font=Verdana] According to former weapons inspector Scott Ritter, the U.S. plans to attack

Iran

in June. Sensible people might wonder if this could possibly be true, given the utter and bloody Vietnam-style shambles that characterizes the tenuous American occupation of Iraq. Nor is the situation very different in Afghanistan, where U.S. personnel venture out of Kabul very much at their own risk. Iran is a country with roughly three times the population and area of Iraq, plus a mountainous terrain that would be ideal for guerrilla resistance. But the 'chicken hawks' and 'Dr Strangeloves' of the present American administration by definition are not sensible men. As Bush and Co. are also being prodded along by the inevitable Israel lobby and contractors like Bechtel and Halliburton - who seem to make a good living out of reconstructing destruction - it does seem likely that Ritter is correct. Indeed some other analysts have predicted an even early attack on Iran, possibly involving special forces attempting to destroy the Iranian reactor at Bushehr. Ritter's contention was backed up by veteran journalist Seymour Hersh, who also claimed that the U.S. has been conducting secret reconnaissance missions in Iran for at least a year. But anyone with a grasp of history can understand that this is all in vain. As William River Pitt comments: "It seems all too clear that this third American empire is threatening to collapse under its own ponderous weight. The movement conservatives cannot contain the forces that have been unleashed against them. The American military is proving itself to be incapable of sustaining the unreasonable demands being placed upon it." **3rd rate nation ** **Meanwhile, in the manner of the militarised late Roman Empire, the United States sinks lower and lower at home. One American friend commented to me: "'We are a third-rate, third-world country that just happens to have plenty of arms."** True enough - the U.S. has about the highest child poverty rate of any industrialised nation, with Britain tagging along in second place after them, much as Blair dutifully follows Bush. China has recently overtaken the United States as the biggest consumer nation, to which country the U.S.A. has already exported over 1 million jobs. Unsurprisingly, the manufacturing base of the nation of Edison and Ford is slowly crumbling away. **While the warmonger Bush gets ready to create a trail of havoc across the Middle East, his own country faces a dismal future.** [/font][/color] [color=black][/color] [color=black][font=Verdana][url="http://www.bnp.org.uk/news_detail.php?newsId=210"]http://www.bnp.org.uk/news_detail.php?newsId=210[/url][/font][/color] --- ### Ponce *2005-03-07 02:18* | [User Profile](/od/user/901) Syria will be first because it is an easier target and besides that we must have the draft first in order to have more frest bodies, Iran will be worse than Iraq. And meanwhile the state of Israel will invade Lebanon because it needs its water, those so called Jews are nothing but water vampires. --- ### Robert *2005-03-07 02:47* | [User Profile](/od/user/1336) Ponce, you mentioned a possible draft. That is something which worries me too. I'm too old for the draft and my nephews are too young. So no one in my family would be immediately affected. But I worry about the rest. And these fools may try to draft girls. If a draft comes, it will be time for serious civil disobedience. I would support anyone who resisted the draft. I would participate in protests. If the forces of ZOG came after the young patriots who said "no" to the draft, it would be time to take up arms against our illegal government. --- ### Ponce *2005-03-07 04:17* | [User Profile](/od/user/901) Well Robert like I posted about a year ago and about two monts ago. IS THE LAW........1-that you have to register for the draft 2- that you have to go in for a physical 3- that you have to go in when they call you. BUT....... when they ask you to raise your hand in order to be sworn in you DO NOT have to raise your hand in order to be sworn in. They will put you in jail for a week and they will harass you but at least you will not die..........live long and prosper. --- ### Robert *2005-03-07 12:43* | [User Profile](/od/user/1336) Ponce, what is the basis for your statement that a person refusing to be sworn in would only serve a week in jail? "Honest" Abe was not nearly so lenient in his treatment of dissenters. Correct me if you have evidence to the contrary, but I would expect ZOG to be pretty ruthless. --- ?>
