The US Congress, the US media, the American people, and the United Nations, are looking the other way as Cheney prepares his attack on Iran.

If only America had an independent media and an opposition party. If there were a shred of integrity left in American political life, perhaps a third act of naked aggression--a third war crime under the Nuremberg standard--by the Bush Regime could be prevented.

On March 30, the Russian News & Information Agency, Novosti, cited "a high-ranking security source: "The latest military intelligence data point to heightened US military preparations for both an air and ground operation against Iran."

According to Novosti, Russian Colonel General Leonid Ivashov said "that the Pentagon is planning to deliver a massive air strike on Iran's military infrastructure in the near future."

The chief of Russia's general staff, Yuri Baluyevsky, said last November that Russia was beefing up its military in response to US aggression, but that the Russian military is not "obliged to defend the world from the evil Americans."

As disturbing as this thought is Cheney doesn't have enough time left as president "everyone knows he's really runnning the show" to get the war running....after the mess congress help get us into in Iraq I doubt they'll be as eager to bend over this time around and approve a war against Iran. I'm sure or I hope that they can see we have already bitten off more than what we can chew in Iraq!

U.S. world hegemony,domination, and empire building.
