As regards Persia
versus the US & its Free World
allies in Empire
Sir Harold Evan’s The Week reports
“mixed messages”
Gen. Dempsey warns Tel Aviv
against blitzkrieg. “Let
the sanctions work,” he says
strong-arming Israel instead of Iran
Gen. Hejazi warns those with bases
like a nuclear necklace around its borders
“We do not wait for enemies
to strike us,” channeling Ali Khameinei
The One Percent’s Financial Times wants Teheran
to submit to UN inspections, but
argues strongly for a civilian nuke industry
“which is popular with Iranian citizens”
The Wall Street Journal faults
the Dems as “weak” for publicly hooding
their Jerusalem hawks & argues our delay
“may drive Israel’s leaders to strike sooner”
The New York Post believes Obama’s
bit the Persian bait. Cut the line, they say
“Iran’s been playing this game since 2006”
Khamenei’s steeped in his “Death to America”
worldview, says Reuters & the Ayatollah
will stop at nothing defending Islam’s purity
But the international sanctions are working
according to the worldly New York Times
“crippling economic pressure mounts”
agrees the Ninety-Nine Percent
Some of whom still remember
the Cold War lesson
suggests the Washington Post
Do they want a bomb to strike first
or to keep the bombs from falling?
Buying in perhaps
to the “protection” afforded us
in “mutually assured destruction”
