Well, you're right about "Iran would not be the first government to start a war to stay in power." Yeah, little boots thought his daddy would have won if only he prolonged the iraq war or started another. Of course, it worked so well for him to stay into power, didn't it.

And my thoughts, the global corporate vultures need the evil despot to justify their actions, which is controlling resources.

This has been set up quite nicely under the last regime. I want to know why we got little boot's holdovers instead of those honorable generals and admirals who were forced to step down because they were not "yes" men to the despicable arseholes from the previous administration.
