If you haven't noticed, the United States is preparing for a war in Iran. They've put Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps on the terrorism list, there are murmurings about reinstating the draft, and unnamed administration officials are beginning to whisper of its inevitability. Many think that the Bush administration will attack Americans themselves and blame Iran, just to get the ball rolling. American troops have already been in Iran collecting targeting data.

So I hope Americans like sending their sons and daughters to Afghanistan and Iraq, because fighting Iran is going to be at least as hard as those two wars put together. The amount of resources (American lives and money) will be staggering. If you could see the price tag for this war, in terms of dollars, deaths, damage to our international standing, loss of support from allies, degraded security at home and abroad, you would revolt. The war with Iran is not something that Americans want to pay for. What benefit we could possibly get for once again invading another Middle East country is not worth the suffering. The pain America has felt in the past six years is minor compared to the pain a war with Iran will bring us, especially since the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq are not finished. George Bush, Dick Cheney, I blame you for making the world a much worse place to live.
