Again...we must agree to differ, unless more evidence comes to light. One thing I didn't like about the USS LIberty page was the anti-Jewish prejudice. Being a typical 'Liberal', I don't like Zionism, but I loathe racism more: and some of the criticism seemed other than political which was why I included the Wiki entry. I may not like my fellow travellers in this: however, avoiding the Iran war is pretty important, if only for the sake of the service-people who will die. Iran has missile defenses. Bombing is going to cost airforce folk their lives. There won't be as much 'softening up' before the ground troops have to go in, and Iran has over a million men under arms. With luck, the next president can rescind the order not to investigate and prosecute the criminals who have been running America for the past seven years, and these folk will be exposed properly and get what's coming to them in somewhere like Gitmo. Also the US really needs to audit its spending: the taxpayer has been stolen from toomuch and too often. Accountability, surely.
The US economy might not be up to affording this war.
As an aside, the Yellowstone caldera seems to be undergoing changes.
