In June 2009, a Brookings Institution report titled, "Which Path to Persia? Options for a New American Strategy Toward Iran" was a regime change policy paper...
Iran poses no belligerent or terrorist threat. In contrast, America, key NATO partners and Israel are global menaces.
Initiating war on Iran and/or Syria could be catastrophic, especially if nuclear weapons are used. Yet major media scoundrels promote it, mindless of the potential consequences.

Iraq. Began with big lies. Ending with big lies
By William Blum
... No matter ... drum roll, please ... Stand tall American GI hero! And don't even think of ever apologizing or paying any reparations.
