The dishonest politics of petulance
Maybe they do things for reasons that they don't state and that Kamiya hasn't analyzed.
Maybe they just want to cripple Iran and they don't care about the transparency of their flawed case and don't care about what Iran will do to retaliate. Maybe they have planned to disable Iran from retaliating say in the straits of Hormuz, but are quite happy for the wave of 'terrorism' that comes and legitimises the modern American 'paranoid security state complex' when Iran inevitably hits back in some asymmetrical way.
Maybe this lot are not thinking 'swift and logically neat' attack on Iran. Maybe they're thinking 'attack on Iran' and 'doesn't really matter what happens after' someone else will have to and indeed will deal with that.
Maybe they're just seizing their chance to beat up on an enemy they've always wanted to beat up on, before it's too late i.e not before it's too late because Iran will have nukes, but because they will be out of office having missed their chance before 09.
Maybe in the shadow of the capitalism crisis and the dollar crisis that the US is undergoing, rampaging violently around the planet looking for your next victim IS the new economy.
By projecting power in this way after having exhausted trying to earn an honest living, the US can lord it over the other countries with an overwhelming balance of terror, when various crises oil/dollar/resource scarcity/climate change all converge. Maybe they've seen the stats and they're far far worse than the lying MSM tells us.
It could be a staggering case of petulant foreign policy for the sake of it, no more no less or maybe it's to do with money, maybe this is the answer the moneyed elites have dreamt up to rebalance world power in the wake of all the emerging and populous competitors in the East.
Maybe Bush and Cheney are the all-time nightmare ticket of all the electees to US office because of deep reasons of state that are not declared or discussed rather than simply because they are the awful people they coincidentally just happen to be ;-)
