The next target?
Ted Rall seems to think so in this article, which does have a certain believability after Afghanistan and Iraq.
Next there's this comment in the Guardian about US exaggerations about the international community's response to Iran's Nuclear Power programme.
All of which reminds me of the Israeli astronaut killed in the Space Shuttle Columbia in February 2003 – as one of the pilots who bombed Iran's nuclear power plants in the 1980's, he was hailed as a hero on his death. No-one seemed fit to mention the illegal bombing of another state, or how Thatcher condemned the bombing. But of course we all know international rules can be broken if you're the bully on the block or one of their protectorates.

Very good point about the Israeli astronaut... I believe his name was Ilan Ramon?
By the way, the two links in your post aren't working. I'm curious about the second article, in particular. Could you, maybe, post the actual web addresses?
Links fixed I hope. Although I just recopied the same addresses.. Perhaps it was the "" marks - they looked strange. Maybe shouldn't be blogging from Opera...?
The links work now, thanks. :-)
Great articles, very interesting viewpoints... ones I happen to agree with.
