Don't Attact Iran

"Paranoia runs deep"
Will they or won't they? According to Democrats.com there may be an October Surprise.

(In case anybody dosen't keep up with politics, an October Surprise is an event, like a startling announcement by the incumbent leader's party just before the election to guarantee that that party will stay in power come November.)

As we keep reading, the mood of the electorate is swinging away from the crazies and fumblers now in charge,and may change things at the upcoming elections, as has happened in the past. One of the most hysterical suggestions is that they have Osoma Bin Laden's body in a deep freeze at Camp David which will miraculously appear sometime around Halloween! And another is that there might be another invasian of a second prong of the self-declared Axis of Evil. Paranoia runs deep.

I do not wish to think that madness like that of Osoma or Timothy McVey or Pol Pot has settled into the weird skulls of Bush and the boys currently over-reacting to world events that they (and WE, dammit) have had our share in the making. But we are such a primative species.

Here you can read some of the paranoia.

Dear Preston,

While North Korea is dominating the headlines, the threat of an "October Surprise" U.S. attack on Iran has not diminished.

Pentagon planners have moved from routine "contingency" war plans to "second-stage" war plans. And the nuclear-powered aircraft carrier U.S.S. Eisenhower and its accompanying strike force of cruiser, destroyer and attack submarine are sailing towards Iran.

How would Iran respond to an attack? Iran has three times the population of Iraq, and a modern military capable of firing missiles at our oil-producing allies and shutting down all shipping in the Straits of Hormuz, through which 20% of the world's oil travels every day. The 140,000 U.S. soldiers in Iraq would be attacked by Iran's Iraqi allies, and Hezbollah would attack Israel.

So why would Bush want war with Iran? For one obvious reason: to prevent Democrats from sweeping the November elections, as all polls now predict.Dear Preston,

Can anything like this happen? Is the leadership really ready to do this? Is the Pope a German? wow wowie. Mass extinction has taken place several times in Geologic past, xolub impact of a comet or asteroid ended the Dynasaurs reign on our planet 65 million years ago, and Biblical past (remember Noah? if you do not agree with science:) plus, and it all stared with humongus violence, big bang, I mean, do you see where I am going? But this time it will be Man, not God or Mother Nature pulling the punches. And we all die at the same time rather than one by one, etc etc.

Looking bad for homo sapiens sapiens chance of survival!!!! But we are only the latest in evolutionary development, Or God's favorite, AMADEUS, if the Holy Bible is your science book. Either way the final curtain may be in sight!!!! FORGET THE WHIMPER, ELIOT! IT IS THE BANG WE HAVE TO FEAR!!!!!!
