Regarding Iran, please consider the following:



1st: If Iran acquired and used a nuclear weapon, it literally WOULD BE 'wiped off the map' instantly.



2nd:

The issue is always framed to make it seem like Iran is 'anti Jew'

rather than 'anti Zionist.' There is a HUGE difference. Zionism is a

political movement, like NeoConservatism. So, just as many U.S. Citizens

oppose the NeoCons' illegal and murderous "foreign policy," many Jews

are against the "policy" of the Zionist-controlled Israeli government.

(In other words: a person can be 'anti Neocon' without being

anti-American, and an individual can be opposed to Zionism without

'hating all Jews.') More importantly, if Iran is so hostile toward

Jews, why does Iran have the second largest Jewish population in the

Middle East? (Second only to Israel?)



3rd: Even if you accept

that Iran is building a 'bomb,' it is totally dishonest to suggest that

it intends to use it for anything other than defensive purposes. In

fact, some leading Neocons with the American Enterprise Institute

actually see this as a PROBLEM...That is, if Iran gets the bomb and

DOESN'T use it, those who said it wasn't worth starting another war for

will be proven right. (http://youtu.be/MQrY59R1VfI)



Final

point: These fear mongers are trying to manipulate us into multiple new

wars based on the laughable assertion that their latest targets are a

threat to our way of life. Well, let me put that in perspective: There

is almost ZERO chance that Iran, Syria or Venezuela will bring down the

U.S. and impose their will on us. There is a 100% chance that, if we

don't stop the current un-American foreign policy, our country will be

bankrupted and we WILL be weakened to the point of genuine

vulnerability.
