this is a great article: http://www.truthout.org/docs_2006/050806Z.shtml
it tells it like it is, imho. and, I think the man in charge is hell bent on bombing the hell out of Iran. One quote I find particularly disturbing:
A former defense official who still advises the Bush administration told Hersh that the military planning is grounded in the belief that "a sustained bombing campaign in Iran will humiliate the religious leadership and lead the public to rise up and overthrow the government."
Who could possibly believe that bombing the hell out of Iran will embarrass the religious leadership? Did bombing the USA embarrass President Bush, or Pat Robertson? Does it turn the people against Bush or any American against any other American? I should say not. Who is it in our government who thinks Iranians are so fundamentally different that they would act to being bombed in a completely nonsensical way? This COMPLETE lack of understanding is truly frightening. Iran's democratically elected hard right leader got there because of all Bush's saber rattling, scaring and angering Iranians.
