These are images of Tehran, IRAN you don't see every day.
- Neoconservative Frank Gaffney: "I would say that the likelihood of military action against Iran is 100 percent."
There have been between 50,000 and 500,000 war-related deaths in Iraq since we invaded. The cost of the Iraq war will soon reach half a trillion dollars.
- Neoconservative Richard Perle: "Could we have managed [the threat of Saddam Hussein] by means other than a direct military intervention? Well, maybe we could have."

well, you know how I love Cat, since we do share a birthday, but this happens to be my favourite Cat song, makes me happy and a bit teary almost every time.

Thanks for the video - really nice. I just hope beyond hope that a change happens soon in the US, they are so out of control with the warmongering.

it's also my favorite cat stevens song. and, yeah, i hope things won't be going down the same path, as they seem to be... it MUST stop! and btw, the existing plans to attack iran seem to include use of the u.s. military bases in romania. it's all so wrong and so screwed up.

frank - exactly! and lots of people in iran are doing more than muttering under their breath and actively protesting against their government... but of course there's so much to take into account, and a war will fix nothing - how can it?! and what would it take for the u.s. to learn from past mistakes - and for others to stop supporting these actions, however WRONG, just because it's the u.s. taking them??

this is my favorite piece on the topic at the moment.
