4. All of the neocons have been screaming about wanting war with Iran

John Bolton and the rest of the neocon gang have really been hitting it hard about their demands that we enter in a full-on war with Iran.

That's what we'll be doing if Hillary is the President. The founder of the neocons, Robert Kagan was one of her foreign-policy advisers while she was Sec of State. Kagan, the godfather of the neocon war movement, endorsed Hillary for President.

Iran would be a horrific war. Iran is not Iraq. Much of the county has modern infrastructure and transportation. There are universities and the population is better educated than many Middle Eastern countries. This is not Afghanistan and people living in mud huts. Tehran and Mashhad are very populous cities that have all of the modern amenities and conveniences of any other large city.

But I'm sure the neocons will find many, many ways to justify the slaughter of these people and the destruction of their country. They'll find some evidence of Iran breaking the agreement and suddenly the US will be forced to bomb Tehran and kill two million innocent men, women and children.

I encourage everyone to read the neocon manifesto, Rebuilding America's Defenses. The neocons laid out their plans and the countries they want the US to have control of. They want the resources (oil), but they also want control of commerce and they've got plenty of corporate friends who stand to make billions if they can open their banks, construction companies, and other businesses in the Middle East. They clearly state--they want Iraq, Iran, Syria and Libya. They crafted their plan in 1996.

They're about half way there in their first steps. They first need to destabilize and devastate these countries. This is what is happening now. Iraq...check. Syria is partially there. Libya...check (Hillary's crowning foreign-policy achievement). Iran they haven't been able to get their paws on because Obama thwarted their plans with the agreement he brokered.

That will all go to hell when Obama is gone. Please vote for Bernie if your state primary is impending. We don't have to go down these roads!
