North Korea announced today that it has nuclear weapons. Lovely. So, unlike the faulty intelligence that we based our current illegitimate war on Iraq in, North Korea is foregoing any need for a scavenger hunt and is saying “we got your WMD right here.” I really can’t wait to see Bush talk around this one. North Korea is saying they exist for defense against an increasingly hostile US. Rice is saying they have no reason to believe we’d attack. I can totally see that, cause we never invaded another country without good reason…

What’s more frightning are Iran’s warnings that their country would become a “scorching hell” for any possible attackers. The fact that we’re even whispering about Iran should be cause for concern for anybody. These are the early days, where we hear the word “Iran” dropped into the news here and there…it’s not quite time yet for the full flood of propaganda and false reasoning to go to war with them. If the Bush administration were smart (heaven forbid), they’d keep any operation in Iran on the back page of the news where nobody will read about it. Then again, it’s not like it’ll be the wake up call for anyone in the US if it were all over the news. It’ll just be another damn day. Hell, I wouldn’t put it past the majority of Jesusland to confuse Iran with Iraq…it’s only a one letter difference, leave them alone!

It doesn’t matter that the Iraq war is still a near-complete failure, troop morale is down the gutter, and troops are stretched thin. It doesn’t matter that numerous polls show the majority of people thinking Iraq was a mistake. Tell them the Reichstag is burning and the cry for war will be heard. All the fear surrounding the question “Is Iran next?” seems to be justified.
