Israel, by virtue of decades of military and financial backing from the US, is militarily superior to Iran, and possibly superior to all the Arab nations combined. Israel, of course, has nuclear weapons, and for all the propaganda about Iran's insane leadership, Israel's leadership is more obviously certifiable, and might well be willing to face the blowback Basically, we're looking at World War III, and the US media won't report on any of these details. But wait, it gets worse. And after all this happens and another million or so people are dead thanks to Bush-Cheney-McCain madness, US media will use shrieks of "We're at war" to once again rally the American public behind warmonger Republican and corporate leadership. The polls will instantly reverse, and suddenly Bush will be a popular President again, appearing before cheering crowds at McCain rallies, and Obama will be portrayed as an isolated "far-left" figure if he isn't eagerly 100% on board with nuclear holocaust. This will almost certainly hand the Presidential election to McCain, and if it isn't enough it'll at least make the election once again close enough to steal, thus ensuring at least four more years of Republican rule and probably a couple of more wars. The American era is ending, crumbling in slow motion, and it's probably too late to stop what's coming. And what's coming will make the tyranny of communist China seem quaint, even desirable.
Because we respect peoples' privacy, we do not keep records of friends' and contributors' contact information. This means we can't forward private communications between readers and writers, but we always welcome dialogue for publication. When we publish incoming emails, we usually edit out the sender's last name, email address, or anything else that would tend to uniquely identify the author (if we slip up, please let us know). But if your email is unambiguously intended only to annoy, insult, or threaten us, we'll publish all the details, and leave it on-line forever. We're especially interested in hearing and considering different perspectives. All we ask is that you conduct yourself sanely and civilly. For the most productive dialogue, it helps if you'll cite a specific article or concept we've gotten wrong. You can contact Helen & Harry at <newsuneed at yahoo.com>. If that address ever fails, our back-up email address is <unknownnews at inbox.com>. But please, don't email us unless you're really and truly, honestly, actually trying to send the publishers of News a communication you're not sending to anyone or everyone else. Please don't send attachments or other cr*p we don't want. If you're trying to reach us but getting no reply, it's probably because you've sent us cr*p we don't want, so we're filtering your emails into the trash, unopened and unread. If you'd like to have your email address unblocked, simply send a sincere apology (from an un-blocked email address).
