Paul Craig Roberts: Attacking Iran
http://baltimorechronicle.com/2006/040606ROBERTS.shtml

Belligerent Until the Bitter End By PAUL CRAIG ROBERTS

"The Bush regime currently has wars underway in Afghanistan and in Iraq and can bring neither to a conclusion. Undeterred by these failures, the Bush regime gives every indication that it intends to start a war with Iran, a country that is capable of responding to US aggression over a broader front than the Sunni resistance has mounted in Iraq… The Bush regime has succeeded in committing America to a belligerent and messianic foreign policy that means years of wars at a minimum and likely preemptive US nuclear attacks against other countries… The US might have nuclear primacy, but it no longer has economic primacy. The US economy has been living on debt. In 2005 American consumers overspent their incomes for the first time since the Great Depression."

2. If you can't win two wars, start another...
We are seeing the end of the broadly shared prosperity of the post-WWII era.

Where are the resources going to come from?
