President Bush imposed the harshest sanctions on Iran for a generation and branded its military a supporter of terrorism yesterday, fuelling claims that he is preparing possible air strikes against Tehran.
Condoleezza Rice, the Secretary of State, accused the Iranian Revolutionary Guard of being a proliferator of weapons of mass destruction and its elite al-Quds Force of supporting terrorism, particularly in Iraq and Afghanistan.
The new sanctions, the first time that the US has sought to punish another country’s military, cap a concerted effort by the Bush Administration in recent weeks to recast the Iraq war as a wider battle against the threat of a nuclear-armed Iran.
I feel like I am a passenger in a car slowly rolling toward a cliff, and no matter how hard I yell or scramble to push the brake or grab the steering wheel the car just keeps on rolling.
I hear the media bringing this topic over and over, which is unlike the march to war with Iraq, but it seems to be having no effect on the Bush administration at all.
At this point I think the only way they could be stopped is if the Republicans and Democrats believed that ALL of them would lose their next re-election bids if the war were to take place.
I for one will not vote for ANY politician who either purposefully, or ignorantly, allows Bush to pursue this suicidal option. And yes that includes Hillary Clinton.
