We shouldn't repeat Iraq War with Iran
Bob Mcclellan | Hagadone News Network | UPDATED 11 years, 10 months AGO
What Hans Blix, former United Nations inspector, is telling us should be shouted from the roof-tops, printed in all the media, talked about by thoughtful commentators and believed by millions.
He says, “Don’t repeat Iraq War with Iran.”
This man knows. This man warned us about Iraq’s lack of weapons of mass destruction. This man was not listened to, was ignored, and then sort of faded off into the sunset. This man is back telling us, once again, that the propaganda ramping up fear, hate, and justification for war with Iran is not proven, is false, is made up, and is dangerous to world peace.
Why do we insist on making the same mistakes over and over again? What is it that propels our nation’s leaders to accept unproven allegations? What is it in our human makeup which finds fighting and killing so attractive to so many?
The answer, my friends, is blowin’ in the wind, the answer is blowin’ in the wind, I guess…

Real change comes from the inside out
This morning I tuned into “Meet the Press” with Chuck Todd as the new moderator. In one segment he had invited the mayors of Pittsburg, Tacoma, and Oklahoma City to share their stories of coming from the depths of despair to vitality. One was a Democrat, one a Republican and one an Independent. Despite their political views, they each spoke with a similar attitude, focus and vision.
