Bush's Band of War-Happy Simpletons
by John Farmer
Reports that the Bush administration is considering a nuclear strike on Iran may not frighten the mad mullahs in Tehran, but it will scare the hell out of many Americans here at home.
(snip)
What's fascinating about these neocons is their obsession with the use of force as old men when, as young men, many of them --notably Cheney -- managed to avoid service in Vietnam. In their youth, when it might have mattered for their country, they never fired a shot in anger. (In Cheney's case, considering his marksmanship, that was not all bad.)
(snip)
And what about the neocons, our home-front heroes -- Cheney, Rumsfeld, the civilians they've recruited like Richard Perle, Douglas Feith, Paul Wolfowitz and Stephen Hadley -- who orchestrated the Bush doctrine of pre-emptive war and foreign regime change?
They should never again be allowed anywhere near the instruments and agencies of the American government.
(a good read!)

But why did it take so long that these loonies are poised and ready to bring about nuclear annihilation, after undoing so many of the checks and balances in place that we may not be able to stop them? I'm so scared that I can't stand it any more! I think I'm gonna have to join Cindy down there soon, 'cause this inaction and fear is killing me!
