Why now, are all of our media hopping up and down against Iran?
Why does Israel wish to attack Iran? Why are our ships surrounding Iran?
Why is Israel the "only country" in the Middle East allowed to have weapons of mass destruction? Does Israel have more wisdom than the other countries in that area? Who is to judge which country is a 'rogue' country? Israel continues to steal Arab lands and areas in Jerusalem, destroying and then, rebuilding for themselves.
Another question: why the great push for help in Darfur (full page advertisements in the larger newspapers), when a 60-year occupation laden with torture goes on in Palestine, unheeded by international law? Is it true that Israel has imprisoned 9,000 Palestinians? What percentage of the population is that?
Why do our politicians do everything that pro-Israeli lobbies wish? When will they realize that they work for us, the American people and our country's needs? Our taxes are paying for this passionate attachment which as anyone can see, is folly.
After 9/11: First it was "Let's get bin Laden!" Then, "Let's get the WMD out of Iraq" (and there weren't any). The photographs in the newspapers were perfectly disgusting when they captured Saddam Hussein. At the time, we were also attacking Afghanistan, leaving that country in shreds. (More courtesy of American money/taxes). Done it also in Puerto Rico, also Colombia and Central America. And now, it's "Let's attack Iran before they get Israel." And this weekend, Putin is visiting Bush so that Bush can talk him out of using nuclear.
Such imperialism!
