At issue isn't Iran's nuclear program. Washington, Israel, and other world powers know it's peaceful. 

Claiming otherwise is red herring cover for America's longstanding regime change plans. If nuclear confrontation ends, another issue will replace it. If it doesn't exist, it'll be invented. 

False accusations will persist. Confrontation may follow. So may belligerent attacks against nuclear, military, and other strategic sites. America's Persian Gulf presence is menacing. Dozens of military bases surround Iran. 

Tehran doesn't threaten neighbors, Israel, America, or other Western states. Its independence and energy riches make it a prime target. Washington wants control over all regional oil and gas, including what companies develop it, who gets it, how much, and the price. 

As a result, all options are open, including war. The risk's too great to ignore. Washington's belligerence increases the likelihood. If not sooner, than after November elections. 

Replacing Syrian and Iranian regimes with pro-Western ones are prioritized. Embroiling the region in out-of-control conflict may result. 

Bipartisan belligerence increases chances. It may happen this year or early 2013. The potential consequences are frightening. 

What happens regionally could go global. The threat's too real to be discounted. Resistance must step up to prevent it. Only fools and warlords would permit it. Time's running out to stop them. What greater priority than that!
