A Serious Look At Iran

The Bush Boyz have ratcheted their rhetoric up a couple of notches, to the point that many think that some form of military action will soon follow.

Let us look at Iran. 2/3 of the population is around 30 years old. These Iranians are more moderate than the older ones. They appreciate the west and its liberties. Many of these are children that grew up in the years of war with Iraq. they recall the destruction and the death. They do not like the idea of war with the west.

The mullahs represent the past, a shining symbol for the elderly, that recall the oppression that they suffered at the hands of the Shah and of course, the Shah was very close with the US. Bush and his entourage with all their saber rattling is just empowering the mullahs more and more. This is the past for Iran.

The young are more moderate and appreciative of the West, they are the future and as such all should be done to help empower them. They could bring about a change in leadership.

All this is working under the assumption that the Bush Boyz truly desire a diplomatic solution to the situation. If it is just another of their lies, then the US has a long drawn out war in the Middle East that it cannot win. The cost in money is not important, but the cost in lives will be devastating. Someone has got to have a level head, it not there is no way to avoid war.
