See how Iran is caught in the middle of our two wars: Iraq and Afghanistan? This is no accident. The Taliban has long been in pursuit of a gas line running through Turkmenistan. See the last entry on this timeline: http://www.worldpress.org/specials/pp/pipeline_timeline.htm. I believe that oil companies, largely staked in the US, have been pursuing this pipeline as well. Hence, the Iranian war has been in the works for more than ten years. Staging ourselves in Iraq and Afghanistan are just the precursor to invading the territory that suits the pipeline best. Currently, there is but one pipeline feeding the behemoth state of China. It runs through the very mountainous region of Azerbaijan. Whoever can run the second pipeline through the much friendlier terrain of Turkmenistan will no doubt have full coffers. So it is no wonder that the American public is being worked into a fervor over the unrest in Iran. (Okay the froth has since died down due to the "King of Pop's" death.) But you can see how another invasion could easily be sold in the light of human interest. Iran still hangs their people in the middle of intersections, above the street lights. They are second only to China in executions. Yet, if we go into Iran, why do we not go into China? Because China owns us. We are trapped now. We are like Iran. Stuck. We are stuck between our human interest and our financial interest and Iran is going to be caught in the fallout.
I call on the American public to get more informed before heading into another war. It may not even be our choice, however. China may put it to us that we must seek the pipeline in order to pay off our horrendous debt. We are trapped now!
Just as a sidebar, the Iranian people may be able to pull a lot of this off on their own. They staged a technological coup Tuesday night when they coordinated a blackout of Ahmadinejad's address by turning on all electrical appliances to overload the system. Brilliant!
