Before we buy into railings from those like Gerecht about evil Iran's "dark history" in pursuing nuclear weapons, perhaps we should study the dark history of two other nations -- one that obliterated the populations of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in mere moments just 65 years ago...that used napalm, chemical weapons, and deadly toxins against the
Vietnamese...that uses deadly depleted uranium to wipe out entire
generations and to deform future generations...or perhaps the other one
that takes great delight in dropping white phosphorus bombs on a trapped
civilian population with nowhere to run...
The Choice is Ours
If our evil axis succeeds in its lust for war on Iran, yet another March 19, 2003 "Shock and Awe" will come roaring through. We can choose to sit, once again transfixed by sounds of explosions, gunfire, sirens, screams -- and once again listen to Mike Malloy say in a dead voice stripped of all emotion...
"This is a dark day.
This is a filthy day.
This is a day for shame..."
Or we can rise up and stand firm. As Malloy also says, over and over (and over) -- "We know the truth. We no longer have an excuse for remaining
silent."
History is replete with examples of citizens uniting and
changing the course of history. When that happens, empires -- even a
shining empire on a hill -- must change...or fall.
History. Round and round it goes. Will the US and Israel attack Iran? Will history repeat itself?
Yes, but only if we let it. The choice is ours.
