The sabers continue to rattle over confrontation with Iran. John Bolton, former US Ambassador to the UN has been quoted as saying an attack on Iran is necessary. The Bush administration seems to know no bounds in the use of violence as opposed to diplomatic efforts to resolve conflict. How much longer can the American public support such a misguided course?
The war in Iraq is failing according to all reasonable measures. The country has been destroyed in large measure. The economy is in shambles. Public utilities including electricity, drinking water, sewers, and garbage collection are failing. And yet administration officials and past officials want to start another military confrontation with Iran. Can they not see the handwriting on the wall?
We must all work to end the continued escalation of violence. Diplomacy and the withdrawal of our troops from the Middle East should be tried. Such efforts were overridden in the haste to invade Iraq. We must not let the administration make a similar mistake in Iran.
