1. once they smell blood

that is their cue to rush and pump the war. Yep, they are coming out in force.

The manufactured sense of alarm and emergency is especially phony, its like every new week and we are supposed to be more worried about the growing Iranian threat!

2. Democracy becomes very popular for politicians..when we want to force on other people.

For Americans, it's a "pay to play" proposition.

3. I wonder if the whole thing isn't a scam

...as in, when you talk war in the ME, the price of oil goes up and there is money to be made. That's inevitable if the threat is genuine, but the thing with Iran is starting to look even more trumped up as the thing with Iraq was.

Perhaps there are "players" who will take their profits and go away, and leave everyone distracted by whatever new news-frenzy replaces the "OMG Iran!" themes.

4. Don't forget the Consultancy business

They loot lots of countries pushing their BS.
They also want high gas prices to hurt Obama - by any means necessary is their meme.

5. You exaggerate

Every hole on the planet, or every hole within 20 miles of the Pentagon?
