Gary Hart To Iran: "Don't Give VP The Justification HE IS SEEKING To Attack Your Country"
Gary Hart
Unsolicited Advice to the Government of Iran

...........

Given the unilateral U.S. invasion of Iraq in 2003, you are obviously thinking the rules have changed. Provocation is no longer required to take America to war. But even in this instance, we were led to believe that the mass murderer of American civilians, Osama bin Laden, was lurking, literally or figuratively, in the vicinity of Baghdad.

Given all this, you would probably be well advised to keep your forces, including clandestine forces, as far away from the Iraqi border as you can. You might even consider bringing in some neighbors to verify that you are not shipping arms next door. Tone down the rhetoric on Zionism. You've established your credentials with those in your world who thrive on that.

If it makes you feel powerful to hurl accusations at the American eagle, have at it. Sticks and stones, etc. But, for the next sixteen months or so, you should not only not take provocative actions, you should not seem to be doing so.

For the vast majority of Americans who seek no wider war, in the Middle East or elsewhere, don't tempt fate. Don't give a certain vice president we know the justification he is seeking to attack your country. That is unless you happen to like having bombs fall on your head.

1. It wouldn't matter if they moved Iran to the moon
as long as they took their oil with them, our Admin would insist that they were interfering in Iraq.

2. Donna Rice Hart STFU! Preach to your own government officials!
Don't try to be cute and tell the Iranians what they should do.

6. NNN0LHI To Gary Hart: Saddam tried the capitulation method with the USA and he was hanged
Edited on Wed Sep-26-07 10:18 PM by NNN0LHI
Bullies like the USA are always looking for signs of weakness. That is why invading Iraq became so irresistible to the majority of Americans in the beginning. They seen weakness in Iraqs leaders. If the USA is going to invade Iran kissing our governments ass won't stop it from occurring. Won't have any effect at all.
