We're Doomed
Jun. 27th, 2004 12:41 pmI understand a lot of people have missed the necessary background to fully appreciate this because of the inane, contradicting news reports and/or boredom.
So here's your background:
Iran and Iraq are neighboring countries. They hate each other. There are a lot of issues, but at the core, Iran favors Shiites and suppresses Sunnis, and Iraq favored Sunnis and suppressed Shiites. Iran would have loved to invade Iraq, but they don't have the power.
Holy Lord Bush came to office. Holy Lord Bush's father once fought a great war against Iraq, but didn't finish the job and actually invade Iraq. Holy Lord Bush wanted to finish up his father's legacy.
The Bush administration began to get reports that Iraq had weapons. These reports come from an Iranian double-agent. Iran hates Iraq, remember. No one cares. It's an excuse, and that's what's important.
Bush invades Iraq. No nuclear program is found. No nukes are found. Iranian double-agent does happy dance and then goes to start handing over American information to the Iranians.
Iranian double-agent is caught. Deception is learned. There's a big scandal in some other countries who care more about what we're doing than we do.
Iran shrugs to itself, knowing that the US is unable to attack them because we're busy with Iraq.
And now: Iran decides to revive their nuclear program. They claim it's just for nuclear power, not weapons. Yeah, right.
US government is unable to do anything because our president was too busy with his damn 'starve-the-beast' economic policies. Iran can do whatever it wants without fear of retribution.
Iran's government is brilliant.
