Selective Bullying
by Harry Browne
Now that the election campaign is over, the Bush administration is unleashing the dogs of war again.
This time the dogs have Iran in their sights http://tinyurl.com/4eeqs. Even Colin Powell is barking.
The Iranian government says it is using uranium for peaceful energy purposes. The Bushies say it’s being used to develop nuclear bombs. To show good faith, the Iranians have suspended their atomic energy program for the time being. Of course, that’s not good enough for the U.S. war hawks - any more than Hussein’s protestations that he had no WMDs prevented an invasion of Iraq.
The Bush people don’t deal in facts; they deal in hysteria. Lynch mobs are their weapons of choice.
