CNN.com: U.S. planning for possible attack on Iran

My dad just sent this to me. As he put it, "Things can get worse.".

It's insane, you know. Xers are their Boomers. They've been seriously agitating from within for cultural and political "loosening." If we invade, we turn a country that's gradually moving away from creepy fundamentalism to another terrorist breeding ground.

It could be a clever diplomatic ploy. Iran might be more inclined to accede to US demands with the percieved threat of invasion hanging over the negotiations. (Of course, that's what I thought was going on with Iraq, before we drove our tanks into the country.)

For the record, I don't think that's what's going on here. I think that there really are people in the White House who want another war.

Someone needs to write a history of the Bush administration, Lemony Snicket-style. I can see it now: "A Series of Unfortunate Policy Choices".

oh, come ON

As J. might put it, "fuck me gently with a chainsaw."
