On Our Way to Hell? Put yourself in the position of the Iranians today. They had their democratically elected government subverted by the CIA and Brits in the early 1950s: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mohammad_Mosaddeq Hussein attacked them with our (Rumsfeld's) blessing. They are hemmed in by nuclear powers that could erupt at any time (Israel, Pakistan, India, the U.S.). Theirs is a minority version of Islam and they face the instabilities of Afghanistan and Iraq with our disrupting American troops hemming them in on either side. One is reminded all too much of WW1 when arrogant pride led to a bloody awful war with the deaths of millions of innocent young men -- the "lost generation" -- and millions of innocent civilians as well -- forgotten now it seems as we replay our similar egomaniacal scenarios with far more at risk. -- "A war is just if there is no alternative, and the resort to arms is legitimate if they represent your last hope."
