I know not with what weapons World War III will be fought, but World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones.
War may sometimes be a necessary evil. But no matter how necessary, it is always an evil, never a good. We will not learn how to live together in peace by killing each other's children.
What difference does it make to the dead, the orphans and the homeless, whether the mad destruction is wrought under the name of totalitarianism or the holy name of liberty or democracy?
Never, never, never believe any war will be smooth and easy, or that anyone who embarks on the strange voyage can measure the tides and hurricanes he will encounter. The statesman who yields to war fever must realize that once the signal is given, he is no longer the master of policy but the slave of unforeseeable and uncontrollable events.
War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse. The person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself.

Bush has no intentions whatsoever of "winning" this war with Iran. He is using this nation and plunging us into debt for the "Big Picture". Terrorists and terrorism have pretty much always existed. But, what is happening today is a deliberate, concerted utilization of terrorism for profit. Oil profits, that is. All of the following is fact and public record. The tribal people of the Middle East had not risen above their neolithic differences to align and form a lasting union of tolerance among themselves, as other nations of the world already had, when greedy foreigners descended upon those lands and began to plunder the oil there. Royalty and tribal elites were bribed. And, the CIA was used by U.S. oil interests, including those belonging to the Bush family, to deliberately destabilize the region for control and to prevent the people in the Middle East from uniting and controlling the oil themselves. Halliburton had the contracts to build the Al Qaeda training camps. Our new Secretary of Defence, Gates, was the man assigned to teach the Al Qaeda forces how to fight back when the C.I.A. used them against Soviets. The U.S. employed the use of Al Qaeda forces through 1999 in Bosnia. Keyword "Gates Al Qaeda". Bush's oil company, Arbusto, is business partners with the Bin Laden family and, as a gesture of friendship, gave Osama's brother, Salem, the Houston Gulf Airport in Texas. Bush and his family and his associates significantly helped to create the terrorists that our soldiers fight today. And, they deliberately contributed to the chaos and suffering of innocent people there. The people of the Middle East, betrayed by their corrupted leaders and weakened by such foreign powers, failed to rise to the realities of the 20th century in time for the 21st. And, their future is grim. Middle Eastern oil production peaks in 2012 and ends in 2070. The plunder of Middle Eastern oil is now a piggy-fest of who gets control of the remaining oil there. The societies there, so long destabilized, have disintegrated into episodic chaos and heightened religiosity as the quality of leadership plummeted. Foreign and local elite oil interests, concerned about security for their pipelines and oil fields now that factions of local power mongers, freedom fighters and religious fanatics threaten to disrupt the efficient flow of oil out of the land, placed foreign troops, including those from UK and U.S., in the region to ensure enough, but only just enough, stability to get the oil out. Many U.S. soldiers there now report that all they do is guard oil fields and a flow of oil profits that go to only a few people in the world. Even the plunder has grown chaotic with an estimated 500,000 barrels of oil going "missing" every day, securing someone's power in the future as oil begins to run out. $20 Billion U.S. taxpayer money that Bush sent in cash with his man Bremer was "lost" there recently to people who most assuredly participate in the "terrorism" trade. Bush marches through the region and wants to invade Iran now to lock up the pipeline routes. He is asking taxpayer for $622 BILLION more! He has not said what he wants that money for, though. And, he refuses to state his "plan" for Iraq. He just says he has one. In order to have an initial foothold for the plunder march through the region, the U.S. pays Israel $30,000 every year bribe for every man, woman and child, plus, has given them weapons of mass destruction, including nuclear weapons which the Israelis have recently threatened (then denied) to use against the Iranians. Those are the only WMD known in the region aften ten years of searching for more. The search for WMD is a propaganda ploy to convince ignorant U.S. taxpayers to keep supporting the "search". It is a ploy because arms dealers and their activities are well known by U.S. intelligence. Now, with a Democratic Congress and worldwide disgust for Bush and Cheney's lying and plundering and unspeakably irresponsible plundering of our own nation's financial security while racking up the largest national debt in the history of mankind, there may be some reasonable approach that will be considered and some way to help the people of those regions who have been disarmed and are now at the mercy of roving gangs of religious fanatics and other factions. Bush stated during the Presidental debates that "there would be NO nation building" there, though. He has no intentions whatsoever of promoting democracy there, unless it submits to his plans. Iran has attempted (since 2003) to mediate in the region and to meet with Bush, which Bush refused. Bush has no respect for the democracy in the U.S. either. He refuses to listen to the will of the American people or to our Congress. And, he and Cheney both have recently accused all Americans and our Congressional leaders who disagree with Bush's lie of a war of aiding and abetting terrorism! Remember, Bush does not represent the American people. He represents the oil interests and war profiteers. He and his gang have done nothing but destabilize and weaken the United States since they took office, using many of the same techniques as were used to destabilize the Middle East. Bush has aligned himself and his interests in the U.S. withdomestic fundamental extremists, the Christian Evangelicals, 40 million strong, whose leadership reported last fall in "Faith and Nation" that they advocate for the violent overthrow of the U.S. government if their religious agenda is not made into legislation. And, they are preparing to fight their neighbors. See the "Jesus Camp" videos. It'll make you sick when you see what those fanatics are doing to American children. Bush is contributing to the creation of even more terrorists in these Evangelical fanatics. Bush and his family supported Saddam when it suited them. They support whomever goes along with them or is most easily bribed with U.S. taxpayers' money. Bush supports the Shiites now because they seem the most easily "managed" and exploitable or amenable to the "Big Picture". That may change from day to day, depending upon the vagaries of the chaos. Bush hails from a family with a history for supporting terrorists. Bush's grandfather, Prescott, supplied at least one/third of Hitler's raw materials before President Rooselvelt and the U.S. Congress stopped him specifically with the Trading with the Enemy Act. When the oil runs out in the Middle East, U.S. oil interests will disarm and abandon Israel and the Middle East to the viscious remnants of their "terrorism" trade and practices. And, the Bush gang will abandon this nation to our debtors.
