HOPE AMID MADNESS!

Methods in the Madness: Why They Want To Attack Iran By Ed Kinane

Attacking Iran keeps the pot boiling. It perpetuates the phony war on terror. More war provides more enemies and so more pretext to erode civil liberties.

Where are our elected voices in outrage?" <http://www.opednews.com/maxwrite/link.php?id=35904>

US Lawyer Seeks To Sue US Over Iran Threats By Chris Gelken
