The Drums of War Pump up the Volume

The Drums of War Pump up the Volume

Rumors of war and echoes of 2003 are once again proliferating in the press. From left organs like Counterpunch to the Jerusalem Post and the New York Times, stories about Israeli intentions against Tehran and US-Europe plans for Syria continue to pepper newspaper pages. I hope I’m wrong, but it might be prudent to begin mobilizing against a potential war in the Middle East again. The ongoing civil war in Syria (which Washington and other capitols are just itching to get into) and the upswing in threats against Iran from Tel Aviv makes this time crucial. Furthermore, the upcoming US election means that military action could be as close as November no matter who wins the White House.http://dissidentvoice.org/2012/08/the-drums-of-war-pump-up-the-volume/
