The US Vs. The Middle East

A few weeks ago an article was printed in the New Yorker about the US’ plans to attack Iran. The

article was meant to alert the US population to the activities of its government, and to allow us, the people, to do something about it. Instead, it would seem that Iran was affected far more. Since the article they have been pegged as searching for nuclear bomb making materials, trying to work out agreements with different governments to acquire such materials for use against, you guessed it, us. The Iranian government has denied the claims, explaining that the nuclear material will be used for energy productions as they attempt to create nuclear reactors and generators. Oh, and let’s not forget Iran being listed among the countries in the “Axis of Evil” a few years back. We obviously don’t like them, for some reason. Even though they have done nothing to us what so ever, and they’re only a threat to themselves as the youth of the country are brimming over with revolutionary fervor; towards democracy.

Now, conveniently, a couple days ago the former Lebanese Prime Minister and his posse were killed

horribly in a blast. The government immediately blamed the Syrian government for executing the attack. The Syrian government has denied that it had any part in such a blast as it would effect them the same way it will prove to effect Lebanon. What does this have to do with Iran and the US? Well, today the Iranian government has decided that it is backing their “Syrian brothers.” As well, the US has been considering applying new sanctions against the Syrian government for their refusal to withdraw troops from Lebanon, and because of some random issues “we’ve” had with them for the past ten years or so. See what I’m saying? This blast has conveniently drawn Iran and Syria into the ill-light of the American “Axis of Evil stage”. Not North Korea or Saudia Arabia, who have both had citizens who has attacked us several times, but Syria and Iran. Iran would have another black mark on their record for assisting a government that has been against the US.

So, now you have an attempt to procure nuclear stockpiles for use in weapons building and an

alliance with Syria who has “obviously” just attacked their neighbors to the west, Lebanon. Does that sound like enough of a reason for us to invade them? Almost as ridiculous as when we went in to Iraq to “disarm a radical dictator”…I mean, “liberate the people from tyranny”…I mean, “bring freedom where there was no freedom before.”

I sweat I’m not a political person.
