G)-(ostly's Journal: Will the U.S. Attack Iran?

I have no faith in the President to be honest about his intentions, no faith in Congress to force honesty on him. I would not be surprised if the U.S. made such a foolhardy move.

My only hope, I suppose, is that this time the United States fully justifies its attack, and does not rely on deceit. The administration lied about Iraq, and it may well use the same tactic in Iran.

The problem in Iraq was not that there were not ample reasons to attack and overthrow Saddam. The problem was that the administration chose to do it using lies to gain support, rather than presenting to valid reasons.

I hope that the administration, when it makes a decision on Iran, assuming such a decision has not already been made, chooses to be honest this time.

Bush claims to be a man with the fear of God in him. If I were Mr. Bush, I would be afraid of what God is going to do to me as well.
