CounterPunch is running an excellent article entitled "Forcing Iran into the Nuclear Corner." Leaving aside the rhetorical ranting of the author, one can clearly discern his point - one that most Americans seem to have missed.
An excerpt:
"[Iran] realizes that Iraq did not have nuclear weapons and posed no threat whatever to the United States, and was invaded and occupied, thus reducing it to a state of anarchic bloody shambles. On the other hand, North Korea does have a nuclear weapon, probably two or three, and poses a serious threat to US interests, and Bush is terrified of invading it. That proves, think the beards in Tehran, that if we don't get a bomb, fast, then the maniacal Bush and his fundo generals will flatten our cities, invade us, and behave like barbarians thereafter by bashing down doors at midnight, terrifying our women, blaring insults at our people from loudspeakers, shooting civilians, torturing innocent captives for fun, and literally getting away with murder."
Thanks to Stephen for pointing this one out.
