Reply #39: We are talking leaders. Top leaders and representatives.

We gave the Iranian leader a chance to speak - why help beat the drum war by beating up on their leader and not on ours? Because he (and others of our representatives and candidates) must be diplomatic when it comes to Bush or Cheney?, but there are no rules when it comes to the leader of a country and people that might be taken out in the next few weeks or months?

When the US and Israel who together own a huge store of nuclear weapons get together to beat up on a guy that everyone already acknowledges is as attention grabbing as our President, who is it that suffers? The people of Iran don't deserve to have this corporate drum beating for war by making the people of Iran appear to be our enemy by beating up on a guest of the UN. The people of the U.S. don't have to have our representatives taking the mike to say something we already know.

I turn it around and I ask you why do all our representatives feel they have to denounce this equally faulted leader - it's not going to help with the fight against bombing Iran. It feeds the people in this country who want to bomb the hell out of Iran - a country that won't have their nuclear WEAPONS for several years yet (if they continue to pursue it).

The Iranian people are not Arabic, they share the religion with Arabs. Between religion and politics - the people just don't want foreign nations taking over their country or bombing it and they don't want to be subject to a nutty leader any more than we do.

So how does Kerry help us or the Iranians by lashing out. What points did it earn him - given that he certainly has the right.

Yep, all our representatives are playing "it's my turn now". Who are they playing to?
