America, the Number One Warmongering Nation in the world, has invaded and pillaged more countries than any other the last 5 decades. However, its current number one target has been on the list since 1979, yet US has not yet invaded it. That Number One target is Iran.
This is the Iran that US wants to bomb.
Disturbing images from Iran you rarely see
Doesn't look too much different from America, does it?
So why is the US so hesitant to invade Iran, unlike its other targets? In fact, US is so nervous about Iran, it even cancelled its drill in the Straits of Hormuz with Israel indefinitely!
There are a few reasons why US is so nervous about Iran. Firstly, Iran has the backing of Russia and China. Secondly, Iran's nuclear sites are all over the place in a large area. US can't do a "hit and run" strike. Thirdly, US has very little intelligence on the Iranian ground, unlike Afghanistan, Iraq or even Libya. Yet another reason is that after a decade of war in Afghanistan and another eight years in Iraq, US has about depleted its resources.
Finally, US is a spent force economically as well. Two concurrent wars over a decade has cost it trillions of dollars and the wheels of the financial war machine are coming off.
But then again, US being US, thrives on wars to drive their economy. It has been that way for decades. Only difference is that this time, the war driven economy isn't working.
Stop the wars. Stop the madness.

Great People to remember - We've had a movie on the Killing Fields of Cambodia featuring the life of photojournalist Dith Pran. We are going to have a movie on the oppressive Burmese Junta featuring the life of opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi. How about a movie on the Genocide of Palestinians featuring our very own Singapore born Dr Ang Swee Chai?
