So if you’re on this website, you probably have at least some
inkling that Bush systematically lies to justify what this regime
does. But as this regime gears up for an attack on Iran,
including the possible use of nuclear weapons and all the devastation
that would mean, it’s important to get crystal clear on the facts and
not get roped in to justifying this in the name of the “war on terrorism” (which is
nothing but a war for empire), and mobilize as many people as possible
to stop another unjust war from being carried out in our names.
To this end, below are a few important pieces to study in regards to
the war plans on Iran. You can find the latest coverage of this
and many other topics in our News & Views
section, but we suggest seriously studying and discussing the following
to get a good grounding on why the Bush regime is out to attack Iran,
what the consequences will be, and what responsibility we have living
in the US to stop this.
