Great article. What the author doesn't know or realise is that these guys WANT a third world war. The crazies at the top of the pile from coporatists to religious fundamentialists to the Zionist mafia all want this war for different but very much aligned reasons. This is not geo-political myopia or bravado. At certain top level tiers of the pathocratic pyramid: this is part of a long-term strategy.

They don't give up. After a decade of blood-drenched failure in
Afghanistan and Iraq, violent destabilisation of Pakistan and Yemen, the
devastation of Lebanon and slaughter in Libya, you might hope the US
and its friends had had their fill of invasion and intervention in the
Muslim world.
It seems not. For months the evidence has been
growing that a US-Israeli stealth war against Iran has already begun,
backed by Britain and France. Covert support for armed opposition groups
has spread into a campaign of assassinations of Iranian scientists,
cyber warfare, attacks on military and missile installations, and the
killing of an Iranian general, among others.
The attacks are not
directly acknowledged, but accompanied by intelligence-steered nods and
winks as the media are fed a stream of hostile tales – the most
outlandish so far being an alleged Iranian plot to kill the Saudi ambassador to the US – and the western powers ratchet up pressure for yet more sanctions over Iran's nuclear programme.
The
British government's decision to take the lead in imposing sanctions on
all Iranian banks and pressing for an EU boycott of Iranian oil
triggered the trashing of its embassy in Tehran by demonstrators last week and subsequent expulsion of Iranian diplomats from London.
It's a taste of how the conflict can quickly escalate, as was the downing of a US spyplane
over Iranian territory at the weekend. What one Israeli official has
called a "new kind of war" has the potential to become a much more
old-fashioned one that would threaten us all.
