War or peace in the Middle East amounts to a coin toss. The probability that the United States or Israel will strike Iran in the next year is 48 percent according to a new project that predicts the chances of conflict--the Iran War Clock. And as a result, the clock is set to 10 minutes to midnight. (Dominic Tierney, The Atlantic)

Starting a war with Iran or not keeping Israel from doing so is a very bad idea.

Let's hope the American public is not as gullible this time, even though Fox seems to be on a war path... Sad how some countries have no respect for human life and believe that they are entitled to strike even before a war has started. A bad precedent Mr Bush...

Well, i cannot blame the republicans looking for desperate measures.... Do they have some remaining respect for human life? I am not so sure anymore.

I'm sorry, 1 member of the house voted no on the "kill the Iraqis" bill. One. And zero senators IIRC.

Both parties own that mess and should have been voted out of office at the next opportunity.

Lies should never be the basis to start a war, especially one that didn't need started in the first place.

Frankly, I don't take shit like that very seriously at all unless people are betting on it. Is there someone making book on this?

I'm reading a fascinating book about the lead up to this situation -- A Single Roll of the Dice. As usual, the current FUBAR is as a result of Dick Cheney and the Neoconmen.
