I am sorry to see that I am turning up a number of reports about alleged Israeli plans to nuke Iran. One article talks about "pinpoint" strikes and claims that this will be the Israeli goal, that it is too hard to bomb Iran conventionally. Yes, Israel will just pop a nuke and be gone, no real intervention at all really these imperialist press reports go.
Of course the idea of a pinpoint strike against Iran is ridiculous. Iran has not been attacked because it can retaliate and there is no reason to think it will not.
So is the Obama nuclear weapons agreement and the so-called criticism of Israel just a cover for this planned and now essentially publically enunciated plan? I wouldn't be surprised at all.
I can hardly imagine a more destructive act, in terms of world peace and justice, than such a nuclear or conventional attack on Iran. Do I think Obama is a peacenik and above such crimes against peace, hardly!
Obama's recent gifts to big insurance and big hospitals is now being followed up by his imperialist priorities, the reclamation of Latin America under the Monroe Doctrine and the continuation of conquest in the Middle East. There is no reason in the world to believe that this imperial ruler is any different than the others except that he sometimes deceives the Liberals who cannot understand that he is nothing but a conservative in essence as indeed they themselves are.
Nuking Iran or a similarly destructive conventional attack will lead to endless war and retaliation of a kind that we will feel more and more as our empire, no the American capitalist empire, fights to preserve capitalist reaction in every corner of the globe.
The greatest wave of popular revolt in human history is unfolding with or without this nuclear attack on Iran but this will certainly mobilize millions in a way that we have never seen in my lifetime. It will convert many reluctant allies of the Yankee bombs into rebels, so be it!
Of course we should mobilize to oppose this attack by those who imagine themselves to be omnipotent or close to it. Can we alter their genocidal plans? Can they be held to account for these plans and/or the execution of these plans?
