Know what you would destroy


"Know what you would destroy," it says. What follows is a video, a montage of images of a modern city -- fountains, flowering parks, flowing streams, tree-lined streets, a city skyline against the backdrop of magnificent snow-covered mountains, and of course people. There are images of children, musicians, crowds on the street, smiling women...

It looks like a place you'd like to live in.

The images in the video are all of Tehran, Iran.

Iran, the country that Bush and the neocons are lusting after, the next country that they want to destroy after Iraq and Afghanistan. Congress, which has the power to stop them, is mouthing platitudes and will do nothing if Bush the Decider orders the planes to rain destruction on this country, this beautiful city.

This is the kind of in-the-gut reporting that you would hope would come from NBC, CNN, though not from Fox news of course. If this kind of thing had been available before we allowed the Neanderthals in the administration to start a war with Iraq, we might have decided to reign them in. But, of course, NBC, CNN, ABC, did no such thing.

These images don't come from the corporate media. They are on a website. Take a look at it and know what we are about to destroy.
