Is Iran the next Iraq?

Why is it that Americans can’t see what’s in front of our noses, why must we wait until we are involved in yet another inexcusable war, and have killed thousand while we have sustained thousands of dead soldiers. I just find it amazing how we continue to be dormant for the most part, I wonder what would happened if president Bush decided tomorrow to invade Iran. Would anyone try to do anything, would we go to the streets to protest in masses? This I feel is what is going to happen; Bush will once again order the invasion of another country and later claim that he did it on “faulty intelligence.”

Doesn’t this sound familiar; middle eastern country, WMD’s, Axis of evil, Tyrannical dictator, oppressed people, threats to world peace, ballistic missiles which can reach Europe, and many other things. You might think I am just talking about the rhetoric before the Iraq invasion, which turned out to be false. However if you play the minimal attention to the right-wing media, this is what is being said about Iran.

Does multinational profit margins increasing, seem as a more viable excuse for the invasion of these oil rich countries. If Bush claims to be concerned with human rights, oppressive governments, welfare of the people, and other things he has mentioned when making his case for Iraq, why doesn’t he try to justify invasions of African countries where these issues occur on a day to day basis.

Hopefully the future will hold the key to us being able to speak out against the actions of our governments. Maybe the blogosphere will be the source which allows us in the future keep a truly short leash on government. Or am I just being delirious.
