A few excerpts:
"They are gearing up totally for the destruction of Iran," according to Dan Plesch, director of the Centre for International Studies and Diplomacy at the University of London.
"US bombers and long range missiles are ready today to destroy 10,000 targets in Iran in a few hours," he said. "The firepower of US forces has quadrupled since 2003," accelerating under Obama.
"the US will have to confront Iran or give up the Middle East",
Iranian deterrent capacity is considered an illegitimate exercise of sovereignty that interferes with US global designs.
Specifically, it threatens US control of Middle East energy resources, a high priority of planners since World War II. As one influential figure advised, expressing a common understanding, control of these resources yields "substantial control of the world"

by alimostofi on Sun Nov 27, 2011 04:03 AM PSTWhat if the world identified The Hezbollah Party and its phoney elections as illegal and dissmissed them from UN. Like The Taliban; the UN forces would feel righteous to bomb Hezbollahi bases that are in civilian areas and threaten the innocent Iranians.

Chomsky does know
by Veiled Prophet of Khorasan on Sun Nov 27, 2011 04:02 AM PSTMr Chomsky should know
by alimostofi on Sun Nov 27, 2011 03:57 AM PSTMr Chomsky should know better than to use the word "Iran" to describe the activities of The Hezbollah Party in Iran. He needs to be more accurate and detailed about the various different factions involved. Lumping Iranians and Hezbollah together is an insult to Iranians. Some call them The Taliban of Iran. In fact they are attacking the sovreignity of Iran. The Hezbollah Party in Iran has no legitimate rights on the people of Iran but neo-liberals find them as useful fodder against United States.
