UnAmerican, socialist

UnAmerican, socialist groups such as Democracy Now believe that U.S is guilty befor even charged. Their focus is how to come up with logics to trash the U.S. We saw this "investigative journalism" when Hersh said in 2006 that U.S is bound to attack Iran in June of that year and he has done "ivestigative journalism" and has "credible sources"!

Another psych war!

It is possible what Hersh is saying could have been discussed .Provoking Iran has been done before,but chances of getting Iran to engage in a war with USA is very remote.We have seen it before when USA brought down an Iranian airliner and attacked an Iranian offshore platform and Iran did not respond to those attacks.Mullahs may be backward but they are not stupid:) Peace on Earth
