A Poor Excuse For Killing People

This is a great comment that I found at another blog:

At the TPM Café M.J. Rosenberg writes about War on Iran in relation to the Dem candidate talkshow next Tuesday. He starts off with this:

"Today's new sanctions on Iran clearly elevate chances that the United States is going to find itself in a war with Iran sooner or later."

That's a sad poor excuse for killing people.

The United States is not just "going to find itself at war" by some mysterious chance.

A war on Iran would be a conscious and willful act by the United States and its people.

Any honest future review of such a war, should it be waged, will find:

    1. It was started based on various nefarious motives, mainly collective greed.
    2. It was in no way an act of 'self defense'.
    3. It was long announced and semi-secretly waged for several years before its hot phase.
    4. It was discussed extensively beforehand, on all relevant levels and in all U.S. media.
    5. It was ordered by the President of the United States elected by the people of the United States.
    6. It had the expressed approval of a majority of the elected representatives of the people of the United States.
    7. It was supported by the majority of the United States media.
    8. It was supported by the most of the candidates for the next presidential election.
    9. There never was any significant protest by the people of the United States against such a war.
    10. It was an unprovoked illegal war of aggression - the ultimate international crime.
    11. It was a consciously and willful act by the United States and its people.
    12. This crude concept called democracy, of which the U.S. is so proud, is not a one way street. A country attacking another one doesn't just wake up "finding itself at war". A country, and its people, wage war.

They are responsible for doing so.

Nice blog. I agree, it certainly will not be circumstances out of America and israeli hands.

These fake Jews want war, and they usually get what they want.
