Bush Wins, We Invade Iran
[Gordon Prather]
If not getting nuked in your jammies is high on your priority list, then maybe your best bet is to vote for John Kerry.
Kerry has just endorsed last October's Brit-French-German agreement with Iran, whereby they pledged to facilitate "the fullest possible exchange of equipment, materials and scientific and technological information for the peaceful uses of nuclear energy" if Iran agreed to sign and abide by an additional protocol to their existing Safeguards Agreement with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA).
But the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) already requires such transfers. Why was the Brit-French-German-Russian pledge necessary? Because for more than 20 years, the United States has prevented - and still seeks to prevent - such transfers to Iran.
Even before Bush declared "victory" in Iraq, the neo-crazies had begun making the same unsubstantiated charges about illicit nukes in Iran they had so effectively made about Iraq, hoping, thereby, to scare you soccer-moms into endorsing an invasion of Iran.
Next week the Bush Administration will try to convince the IAEA Board of Directors to refer the alleged Iranian nuke program to the UN Security Council for ''action.'' Bush wants a Security Council resolution - similar to the one he used as an excuse to invade Iraq - warning Iran of ''serious consequences'' if they are unable to convince him that they have no nuke ambitions.
