War in Iran?

A headline in my morning newspaper, The Santa Fe New Mexican, reads: "Report: Covert activity in Iran to widen." On all sides I am reading disturbing comments about the plans of our government (read the Bush administration acting unilaterally) to invade Iran before the end of the current administration. Here is what Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert said following his 90-minute meeting at the White House with President Bush on 4 June:

“We reached agreement on the need to take care of the Iranian threat. I left with a lot less question marks [than I had entered with] regarding the means, the timetable restrictions, and American resoluteness to deal with the problem.

“George Bush understands the severity of the Iranian threat and the need to vanquish it, and intends to act on that matter before the end of his term in the White House.”

Forewarned is forearmed. We may be into a war before we know about it and without even a pro forma approval by the congress. Watch out, friends. Let's not let them do it again. We desperately need for the citizenry of this country to stand up to the criminal activities of our government. There is nothing better than an informed citizenry to start making democracy work again. Pass the word along.
