iran war seems frighteningly possible
Having successfully established peace and democracy in Iraq, the U.S. seems to be setting its sights on Iran, which is geographically close to Iraq and has a similar name. Jared already put things into visual perspective here a while back, but now the rhetoric is flying back and forth between the Iranian and American governments at a frightening pace. Lately:
- "The Bush administration has been flying surveillance drones over Iran for nearly a year to seek evidence of nuclear weapons programs and detect weaknesses in air defenses, according to three U.S. officials with detailed knowledge of the secret effort." (link to Washington Post article)
- "Iran warned the United States on Sunday not to attack its nuclear facilities and said talks with Europe might produce a deal to defuse the dispute over its alleged covert ambitions to build atomic weapons." (link to Reuters article)
