Oh Wow!! at Firedoglake

GREAT post over at Firedoglake. If anyone is struggling with the concept of the US bombing Iran, this Oh Wow post by Ian Welsh cuts to the chase and tells it like it is. A tiny excerpt:

"I’m in the odd position of being a Canadian who does most of his blogging on American politics for US blogs. It’s a kafkaesque exercise at times, and the recent Iran mess has reminded me yet again, that to a foreigner, the US really is “through the looking glass”.

Because to me the conversation on Iran isn’t sane. In fact, the idea of bombing Iran, either large scale conventionally, or, even worse, with nukes, is one I’m astounded is even being considered.

Let’s deal with the specifics from one Canadian’s point of view.

Now, you MUST go read the rest of this article. Pass it along. Send it those who think invading Iran is a good thing. Send it those who think that bushtard's sabre rattling is a good thing. Send it to those who inately know it's a terrible idea, but don't know how to articulate the arguments. Send it to everyone.

Keep the discourse alive......
