"Iran is on notice that they are going to have to come clean and they are going to have to make a choice"

Its all over the news. Iraq has weapons of mass destruction. No more time for diplomacy. Ultimatums have been made. The media is lining up behind the president. The world must be kept safe.

What is not being broadcast? Iraq has started demanding euros for oil.

Wait. This isn't 2003, its 2009. Its not Iraq. Its Iran.

Its all over the news. Iran has a secret under-ground nuclear-fuel plant. No more time for diplomacy. Ultimatums have been made. The media is lining up behind the president. The world must be kept safe.

What is not being broadcast? Iran has started demanding euros for oil and has moved to using euros as their reserve currency within the past month.

This is very troubling. The US is still fighting one war in Iraq and we're with them in another in Afghanistan. These wars are taking longer than either World War I or World War II and our countries, our men and women, the civilians in the respective countries we have invaded, and our treasuries are paying dearly for it.

Now, suddenly, you can feel our government lining up for a new initiative, a new war, there's a new boogey-man and we must destroy him.

Obama, the president of peace, change and hope, released this BUSHIAN statement,"Iran is on notice that they are going to have to come clean and they are going to have to make a choice".

There is no hope, no peace, no change. Its all the same.

Unfortunately for us, Chretien is no longer the Prime Minister. We have Harper. He released a statement that is even more fearful to me than Obama's. He said Canada would back “whatever actions are necessary to deal with what is a tremendous threat to international peace and security.”

Right now they're talking about sanctions, but sanctions are acts of war. They always hurt the people, the civilians, more and they are designed to weaken the country to make war easier. They say they want to stop all transport of gasoline into Iran.

We're scared of a country that is flush with oil but cannot produce its own gasoline.

If our governments choose to march down this road, we have a responsibility to each other, and the people around the world, to do what we can to stop them.
