There's a great scene in the movie "True Romance" where Christopher Walken says to Dennis Hopper, who is tied to his chair, "Do you see this fist?" and Hopper looks at his closed fist. Then Walken slams him with his other fist and says, "This is the one you need to be watching for."
Anytime a magician tells you to look somewhere it's because he's doesn't want you to look somewhere else. It's called "ledgerdemain", or "sleight of hand". The problem with Iran is similar to this. Iran is a problem. As I write this, the Justice Department is handing down indictments to a long list of former high ranking Democrats and Republicans like Ed Rendell and Tom Ridge for trying to get a known Iranian terrorist group off the terror watch list. It seems they were paid lobbyists for this group. Looks bad. But you have to ask yourself -- would Tom Ridge, of all people, the first head of the Department of Homeland Security, actually take money from a group he believed to be a danger to the US? It doesn't seem likely. It DOES seem likely that these political whores would take money but maybe that's just the cynic in me.
How does this tie into bombing Iran? The question really is, would we be better off after we bombed Iran?
I have to believe that the Army has been planning how to take down Iran since 1979. What do we know about Iran?
- it's
