The Raging Bull in the White House After 9/11, the administration may see the US as the only one prepared to take action. By Mark Sappenfield http://www.csmonitor.com/2006/0414/p01s01-usfp.html?s=hns ...................... Lest we don't take seriously the Bush threat to attack Iran, this article articulates the mentality at work -- including the peculiar argument that Iran has been our enemy since 1979 when the clerical revolt against the Shah occurred. Totally neglected is the prior fact of our having manipulated the Mossadeq government out and put the Shah in place in 1953: http://www.iranonline.com/NewsRoom/Archive/Mossadeq/ and the Bush administration's stiffing of the outreach efforts of the previous Iranian administration and the obvious admiration for things American by the younger Iranians -- 70% of their population being 30 or younger. One has the sense now of a raging bull in the White House -- increasingly frustrated by its manifest failures, lashing out at its many tormentors -- at home and abroad. Such is extremely dangerous to say the least. -- "A war is just if there is no alternative, and the resort to arms is legitimate if they represent your last hope."
