Debra Sweet's article, Threats, Blockades, Sanctions, Airstrikes on Iran, ALL wrong, leaves out the real intent in punishing Iran. Iran must be punished or destroyed because it is a Sovereign Nation, that wishes to pursue its own path, follow its own destiny.

Under Cheney/Bush, that is the ultimate crime.

Not to be subservient to the nation with the greatest number of WMD's and the most hubris on the planet. If you do not agree with us and do our bidding, then, as der Bush said so long ago, "If you are not with us, you are against us."

In Cheney/Bush terms, that means subversion, or elimination.

The deaths of millions means nothing to them, as long as it improves profits and power.

Since We the People are allowing this to happen without any checks and balances, by electing legislators (our alleged representatives) who will rubber stamp whatever the Oligarchy and its minions insist upon, we, too, are complicit in this global rape, theft and murder, carried out in our name.
