Great Article On Politicians View of Iran

For all his good qualities, Obama, like every other American politician in recent memory, soooooooo wants Iran to be a bad guy and sooooooo panders shamelessly to the Zionist lobby. False accusations that Iran wants Israel to disappear (false), they want to kill all the Jews (20k jews live in Iran and they have parliamentary representation), that they have an advanced nuclear program (false), and they think America is on the downturn in terms of it's power (true). So the end result: politicians pandering and spewing fire about how horrible Iran is. It is pure pandering to the Israeli lobby here in the United States that does not allow ANY criticism of the Zionist dominated Israeli government. Any criticism is met with accusations of at a minimum the messenger being anti-semetic or even worse being called a terrorist. Regular Americans have been brainwashed about the Israel-Palestine issue to a point that saying anything bad about Israel as a politician is toxic. A simple reading of history and current events should convince just about any un-biased observer that the real menace and aggressor here is Israel. Such a shame that Obama falls right into this trap. I have higher expectations for my politicians. In fact, it's exactly issues like these that made me vote for Nader the last two elections (let the hating on Nader being - sigh). Here's a great article from Salon speaking to this issue. Kudo's to Larry King for actually letting Ahmadinejad speak to some of the lies about his country. Granted, Ahmadinejad is no angel (blatant homophobic), but Iran is not what the mainstream media and politicians make it out to be. It would also be like people judging you and me by Bush - now that's scurry.
