 TARGET:
IRAN
"Okay,
let's play Name That Nation: Al-Qaeda is supposedly
hiding there, the country's rulers are fast developing 'weapons
of mass destruction,' and the population, we are told, longs
for 'liberation.'
"No,
it's not Iraq before the recent war, but Iran before the next
war. How long before is an open question…"
Those
words, which could have been written yesterday, were posted
at Antiwar.com on May 28, 2003. We were covering the Iran
beat long before the debate over Iran's alleged nuclear weapons
program began in earnest. Antiwar.com has been way ahead of
the curve, but that's our job – to foresee the next trouble
spot and direct our coverage accordingly.
Unfortunately,
we've been dead on target regarding Iran, which is now being
set up by the War Party for a replay of the Iraq disaster,
times 10. That's why it's essential that you give
all you can as soon as you can to help us meet our fundraising
goal. We don't depend on corporate largess, which is what
funds the War Party in this country: check out the whopping
budget of the American Enterprise Institute, one of dozens
of pro-war think tanks in Washington. What's worse, the warmongers
in the White House have access to your tax dollars,
which fund more war propaganda
than any other source.
That's
right: you're forced to pay for lies. Will you choose
to support the truth?
We don't
need much, relatively speaking, to keep resisting the war
machine, but we need your help now. If and when George
W. Bush gives the order to strike Iran – and there are several
indications
that such an order is
imminent
– we'll be tracking the fabrications and debunking the war
propaganda 24/7. If we're still around, that is…
Please
understand: we can't continue without your support. Our reserves,
such as they are, are running low. We can't afford to keep
the site up unless we make our fundraising goal.
Don't
delay – make your tax-deductible donation today.
