War with Iran. What are our Governments up to?

Did anyone notice that Mark Urban, while being interviewed on BBC flagship news programme Newsnight, told us that the USA plan on attacking Iran after the US elections?
He went on to say that, given the current state of affairs, it was likely to happen well before then.
I was shocked but the interviewer completely took this devastating news in his stride and ended the article in around 3 minutes.
Obviously something world shattering had occurred to eclipse this dramatic turn of events. Well no, not exactly. The item to follow was about funding movies. Important to actors and those who enjoy the genre, no doubt. But surely being dragged into another terrible war in the Middle East by our bullyboy brother the US has got to take precedence.
It has been obvious for a long time now that Iran was next on the agenda for these corrupt Governments to attack. During the Blair interviews last year to discover his guilt in starting an illegal war on Iraq, He told us many times over that Iran was next on his agenda.
Iran has not committed any aggressive acts towards another country in centuries and has no intention of instigating such attacks in the near future that I can discern.
Its crime would appear to be that it openly criticizes the Israeli regime's behaviour in Palestine and the immoral actions of Nato in the Gulf.
The Iranian Government is a thorn in the side of the Western elite as it refuses to fall in line with US monetary manipulation of the World economy or allow the West to pilfer its oil treasures.
As a result, Western governments have used every excuse to place unjust sanctions on Iran for years now and this campaign has just been ramped up.
Now the US thinks it has the right to dictate that no one is allowed to do business with Iran. They have signed into law a dictate that says that if you do business with Iran, you cannot do business with USA. Personally, that is enough to make me immediately take all my business to Iran and wave cheerfully bye bye to US business.
This is blatant bullying of the type we are trying to cut out of every schoolyard. The bully and his cohorts demands that the individual does what he says or he will beat you up.
Iran has one very important ace to play. Access to the Straits of Hormuz through which some 40% of the World's oil must pass. The West's current rhetoric, sanctions and assinations in Iran are already acts of war. If Iran takes the major step to act in the Straits of Hormuz, the West will, no doubt, take this as an excuse for open military action. The news channels will be full of rhetoric naming Iran as the aggressor. The truth is quite the opposite. The West and Israel are blatantly doing everything in their power to create conflict and Iran is behaving with incredible dignity in response.
Have ever wondered what would you have done if you were living in Nazi Germany? Would you have been one of the silent majority, happy to get on with your life in blissful ignorance of your Governments attrocities? or would you have taken a stand regardless of your own personal safety and the welfare of your families?
Well here it is again, only this time our governments are the bad guys and we do not face death if we fight against them. Yet.
We have to make our choices now and stand up to these bullies on behalf of Iran, Syria and everywhere in the World that they see as rich pickings.
Let me know if you feel the same.
