War with Iran?

In this month's Vanity Fair there's an eye-opening article about Bush's plans for war with Iran. They're close to being ready for an air attack, as this would be fought from the air (because the few ground troops we still have are already ill-prepared?).

This war is being pushed by the same people that pushed for the war with Iraq, with the same sort of deception, disinformation and fear-mongering. The article said that some $85 million has been projected to produce anti-Iran propaganda. Keep your news tuned to Fox.

It's pretty unbelievable that Bush is still poised to move ahead despite facing so much opposition to the current war. It's as if he's oblivious to the costs of war in lives, money and global karma and only cares about looking good with a win. In this case winning would be successfully creating regime-change in the region, which as far as I have read is impossible regardless of the resources.

I read in a previous article that Bush hates to lose and will continue with a contest until either he has won or his opponent gives in (because enough is enough). This sort of egotism doesn't belong in the White House. Keep it on the playground where you'll just end up losing your own friends, not our country's allies.

I'm hopeful that someone will get through to him and this craziness won't happen. I'm starting to take it personally. Let's see some of that money being spent at home.
