Doctor Strangelove: or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb

Friends,
It's a good thing there is no hell. If there were, the administration of the United States of America would be roasting.
I am very afraid of Basra. Billions of dollars of oil go through this singular sea port. It is run by gangs. They affiliate with differing, obscure religious, sectarian groups. Thugs and thieves and armed and rich, (from siphoning billions of dollars of oil) and very near to Iran (12 miles according to Google Earth). Very near to Iran. I am afraid that this is the spark that is going to set the Middle East on fire.
I truely hope I'm wrong. But......Cheney is going to get HIS Iranian War. Go out in a blaze of glory. Riding the bomb like Slim Pickens in Doctor StrangeLove: or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love The Bomb.
This is very important to the whole world. Don't let Cheney get his war.

Peace and Love,
Rev O

"It is also the question of the hour. If the violence continues to intensify and the Iraqi government cannot finish what it started then the U.S. must choose whether to throw its troops into the fight. If that happens then the seven-month cease-fire, which was vital to the dramatic drop in violence late last year, will truly be over and a new round of blood-letting may be about to begin."
"In other words, the President is fully willing to sacrifice more young Americans in an effort to achieve an after-the-fact justification for casualties in a conflict that was unnecessary."
