Shock & Awe II

The Pod man goes off on another speculative, rambling, historically incorrect and mind-numbingly boring rant about bombing Iran. His entire premise and motivation is so incoherently framed, so amateurishly plastered together with disparate and wholly manufactured instances and hackneyed conjecture that one is left with no other thought than it is a piece of pure propaganda.

It is 5,000 words long which, I think, may prove a little daunting to most republicans who prefer their opinion pieces to consist of nothing more intellectually challenging than a head and by line.

I read the whole thing - I am a sucker for punishment if nothing else - and found within it, not a single convincing reason to bomb Iran. You may like to read it for yourself, that is entirely up to the individual and I respect that, however if you find yourself dropping off or gazing mindlessly at a word like 'Finlandization' don't say I didn't warn you.

Always remember - these are the serious people - and - we are where these serious people have brought us.
