Reply #140: The fact that Bush is a raving lunatic doesn't mean there aren't... [View All]

...very real threats in the world. We are just in the very complicated and unfortunate position of being forced to figure out which are the real and the made up threats in the midst of endless lies spewed from Bush and his minions. The terrorists in planes on 9/11 were a very real threat to Americans regardless of who was ultimately behind it. Kapish?

It would be just as foolish to look the other way when faced with a real threat as it would to blindly swallow Bush lies in the midst of a fake threat.

That's my whole point here - is it possible that Iran might really be a threat, and we're letting Bush's unforgivable acts in the run up to the Iraq war blind us to a very real threat that needs attention? Diplomatic attention, not BushCo war mad insanity.

Nightmare scenario? What if the Iranians are really building a bomb with the plan to hand it over to Al Qaeda to use in the US as a means of forcing our withdrawal from Iraq and the broader ME? And we're running around saying Bush is lying about the threat and nothing should be done... I'm not saying that's the case here, but I am saying that we should not blind ourselves to a potential threat just because we despise what Bush did in Iraq. We should keep our eyes open and QUESTION everything!
