Discussion
5/4/08 - Former U.N. Ambassador John Bolton: “the use of military force against a training camp to show the Iranians we’re not going to tolerate this is really the most prudent thing to do. Then the ball would be in Iran’s court to draw the appropriate lesson to stop harming our troops.”
7/31/08 - [Seymour] Hersh explained that, during the meeting in Cheney’s office, an idea was considered… There was a dozen ideas proffered about how to trigger a war. The one that interested me the most was why don’t we build — we in our shipyard — build four or five boats that look like Iranian PT boats. Put Navy seals on them with a lot of arms. And next time one of our boats goes to the Straits of Hormuz, start a shoot-up.
Where is the urgent threat?… The deep moral dissociation of the debate, e.g. what we should do about Iran. … War is bad for sustainability - environmental destruction, depletion of irreplaceable fossil fuels. War is unjust - 80% of casualties are civilians.
