US: Edging closer towards war with Iran?
The biggest problem for the US is not Iran getting a nuclear weapon and testing it, but getting it and not using it.

What am amazing thing! In order to get clear reporting on the US foreign policy you have to go to a foreign web site! I bet you would never get such reporting even from BBC since we were so fully supported by the Brits in our last disastrous illegal imperial invasion. Still, quite interesting reading even though it is from that damn nasty foreign dirty AlJazeera web site. It seems clear, particularly from their conclusion (below) that war with Iran is quite inevitable no matter which clown wins the next Presidential election:
Nonetheless, at this point war looks likely. Under our political system, the side that can pay for election campaigns invariably gets what it wants. There is, simply put, no group of donors who are supporting candidates for president and Congress based on their opposition to war, while millions of organised dollars are available to those who support the neo-con agenda. Pundits used to say: As Maine goes, so goes the country. It’s just as simple today: As the money goes, so goes our policy.
We are already going (went) broke on the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq and relying on China to fund it, why not add another war on there? It will help to accelerate the collapse of the American Empire, though I would prefer it linger for a few more decades.
