Insanity.

Editor,

Iran does not want a bomb.

It wants what is known as the "Japanese option" -- because Japan could build a bomb in a weekend if it wanted one -- and refers to the "capability" to build a bomb if it is felt necessary to deter an attack.

Thirty (30) countries possess this capability.

Iran was attacked by Iraq and brutally savaged for 8 years. It is almost completely encircled by hostile forces, it was declared a part of an "Axis of Evil" by George W. Bush -- another member of which, Iraq, was invaded and demolished by the USA -- and it has been the object of non-stop sabre rattling by the USA and Israel for at least 10 years.

This hysteria about Iran's nuclear program is completely insane and is driven by intransigent right-wing Israeli idiots.

All Israel has to do to end this madness about Iran is make peace with the Palestinians, which it refuses to do because the Israeli power elite want to drive the Palestinians into the sea -- or the desert, whichever comes first.

The US is being dragged around by the nose by Israel, jeopardizing our legitimate interests because politicians in this country have to genuflect to AIPAC, an overrated congregation of fanatical nut jobs, for campaign contributions and a few electoral votes.

Enough of this insanity.

War on Iran is the stupidest proposition I have heard in the last 30 years.
