I guess this means that there’ll be an Iran invasion/bombing soon… I’ll try to remember to duck&cover. I say this given the recent rhetoric run-up on both sides. I fear the narrow-minded viewpoint of your letter will be implemented as more disastrous Bush administration policy. Bush has four more months to destroy the nation — is that why you say “Faster, Please?”

Is there any reason why you feel such a strong need to get a war started — beginning with the disrespectful tone of your letter. I am in no way a fan of President Ahmadinejad, however, I feel that the actions of this administration (that you’ve spearheaded) will lead to unecessary violence against Israel. For starters, it might be a good idea to understand the source of your hatred much like your attempted psychoanalysis of Pres. Ahmadinejad:

Nobody, not even Jimmy Carter — who dismissed the 1950’s US-lead coup that installed the Shah of Iran as “old history.” — Seems to see our direct role in inspiring Islamic militants. The US has been messing with Iran for over half-a century. Soon after Iran got its first democratically elected government, the US launched a coup from within the US embassy in Tehran that installed the brutal dictator “The Shah of Iran” and we gave him weapons and spy/communication equipment to create a police state. Decades later when Iran finally deposed the shah in a revolution — they thought back to the 1950’s when the US launched an attack against their free and fairly elected government from within the US embassy … From Iran’s perspective, the entire “hostage crisis” was a tactical maneuver to prevent a repeat of what America did in the 50’s — install a brutal dictator and setup a police-state… again! And when Iran’s president starts with the anti-American propaganda … what he says resonates within the country because everybody knew someone who was imprisoned, tortured, disappeared, murdered or raped under US authority, with US weapons, with US spy equipment and radios… by the US-installed puppet dictator. It’s very convenient for the owners of FOX news to forget to report this little detail on why Iran is a problem — it’s a problem because we made it a problem, just like all the other governments we prop up and people we oppress, just so we can drive our SUV’s around and enrich bush’s oill buddies in Texas, Kuwait, UAE, Saudi, and Myanmar.

Please stop messing with the world. It was a much better place before you lot started stirring the pot by helping promote a hatred of Israel in the Arab world — used as “fascist” cover to the kleptocracies that are impoverishing and holding back the people of their nations. That is the source of the “terror masters” — the USA’s own policies that support arab fascist oil regimes to the detriment of their citizens. The opposite dialectic — “war on terror” — is the west’s cover for it’s own kleptocrats, who you so happily represent.

You people don’t even care about Israel other than your own death-march towards “salvation” via “armageddon.” You’re happy to plant parallel-ideologies in both the middle east and the west; ideologies that have no chance of ever meeting in the hopes of kindling a perpetual war. You and the fascist administration’s business and military buddies will be there to collect all the pieces in the fire-sale when the battle(s) are all over. You get your “creative destruction” and the neo-crucaders get their Armageddon.
