It’s taken a long while to get going but, at long last, the campaign to say ‘no’ to a war against Iran is gathering momentum.
While the threat of war has been around for years, it seems that ordinary people have only begun to take it seriously just recently.
The reason for this is simple; unlike the lead up to the Iraq war where the threat of war was far more palpable, the threat to Iran has been less obvious due to the ‘good cop, bad cop’ propaganda methods used by the Western/Israeli alliance whereby the US and their Western allies present themselves as friends of Israel but, at the same time, wanting to prevent war by restraining Israel who are itching to attack Iran over Iran’s so-called ‘nuclear weapons program’.
The Western/Israeli alliance has learnt their lesson after the lead up to the Iraq war when literally millions took to the streets around the world to protest the imminent invasion and destruction of Iraq. These big protests happened because the people knew the war was going to happen despite Western leaders saying right up to the eve of invasion that a decision to attack had not yet been made. The world could see right through the Bush/Blair/Howard rhetoric about ‘a decision to attack had not been made’. The world knew it had and that it was merely a matter of ‘when’.
This time, the approach has been different. Instead of presenting a united front threatening war because of Iran being what the Israelis claim to be an existential threat to them, the US and their Western allies are instead insisting that sanctions and diplomacy be given an opportunity to work first. This, of course, was tried with Saddam as well but the difference in his case was that, according to the Western allies, Saddam was a threat to the entire world – and the Western allies proclaimed this very loudly while, at the same time, the Israelis kept a relatively low profile. With Iran it has been the other war round; the emphasis has been on the Iranian threat to Israel while the rhetoric about the Iranians being a threat to the rest of the world has been minimalised with the West insisting that it can be dealt with via the sanctions and diplomacy.
The effect of all this is that the world has been led – up until now – to believe that the US and their Western allies have been sincere in their desire to prevent war with Iran by using sanctions and diplomacy to deal with the perceived threat from Iran. And to give this perception even greater credibility, the US and their Western allies have been asking Israel very loudly to hold off from attacking Iran themselves but knowing full well that, ultimately, if Israel does attack Iran ‘pre-emptively’, the US and her allies will join in to prevent, so they will tell the world, Iran from retaliating against Israel.
Lately, however, the rhetoric for war has greatly increased and, as war seems now more certain than ever before, the ordinary people of the world are beginning to stir once again to demand that there be no war.
The protests this time have also taken on a new and unexpected twist; Iranians and Israelis are now beginning to speak out jointly via Youtube, Facebook and Twitter against war using the worldwide social media to express solidarity with each other. From this the word has spread. In Israel demonstrations against war that include placards expressing solidarity with the people of Iran have already taken place. This use of the worldwide social media together with street demonstrations, hopefully, is a trend that is likely to be repeated around the world as the anti-war protests grow.
However, the world needs to act quickly. If the Israelis and their Western partners get spooked by the prospect of the people of the world waking up to their ploy, they may just be inclined to bring forward an attack using some pretext that will provide a plausible cover for them before the protests and call for no war becomes overwhelming – especially this side of a Presidential election.
Let’s be quite clear about this; sooner or later there will be war against Iran. It will have nothing to do with Iran and its so-called ‘nuclear weapons program’ but it will have everything to do with regime change in Iran that will reinstate US regional hegemony and it will, at the same time, be about Israel removing the final barriers preventing them from creating a Greater Israel – the destruction of Hamas and Hezbollah.

What's struck me is the one sided propaganda pushed by the politico/media by the yanks and their lackeys (including here in Aust) on the 'Iranian threat' yet there is no bloody evidence of an Iranian nuclear weapons programme!.
I was watching that simplistic Tony Jones on 'Lateline' last week talking to that career Americanist Bob Carr (yet another self important clown who nevertheless, continues to make mistakes on a regular basis) and Iran came up.
Jones really should know better as one can't help notie just how easily he and the media slip into the 'Iranian nuclear bomb programme' narrative.
Seems Jones and most of the media have 'gone native' and lazily slipped into this narrative as if its an axiom!.
I expect we'll see a situation like Georgia and Russia a few years back.
Georgia/Israel, feels it has the backing of the yanks, they attack the Russians/Iranians, of which they retaliate and give Georgia/Israel a bloody nose back, while the yanks and their media mates then go around and pretend that Russia/Iran started the fighting!.
It still amazes me that they were able to get away with that whopping lie then and I expect similar 'gynmastics' when Israel attacks Iran, with the Iranians being blamed for initiating hostile action.
Of course we can expect the compliant media to go along with the diktats of their political masters.

The country has faced a number of political and economical crises since very inception of its foundation, but luckily people do emerge on top and one name that does ring bells is Mr. Mohsin Habib Warraich, an entrepreneur who has given the country a new sense of direction. He has not only successfully completed a multibillion dollar agreement with Sheikh Sultan bin Khalifa Al Nahyan who is the son of the president of UAE but along with that he even gave a lot of positive attributes to Pakistan. [url=http://www.mohsinhabibwaraich.com]Mr. Mohsin Habib Warraich[/url] recently signed an agreement which is giving him the opportunity to emerge as an entrepreneur to be in foreign market and there he practices his entrepreneurial skills bringing it to his own mother land, Pakistan. The construction project would bring in a lot of fruits to the Pakistan economy and also strengthen the ties between Pakistan and the United Arab Emirates.
Originating from a political background[url=http://www.mohsinhabibwaraich.com] Mr. Mohsin Habib Warraich[/url] is believed to have this vision in him as his father was also in the defense ministry. The politically groomed entrepreneur took the vision along and set a groundbreaking deal with the Sheikh of UAE. In this project he will be 49% share holder, whereas the Shaikh would be 51%. This entrepreneurship will definitely will be setting offices in UAE but rest assure this is not all, as pointed out previously about the vision that this man possess, he did even pursue the people and the Shaikh of UAE to invest in his own home land Pakistan. Mr. Mohsin Habib Warraich with his struggle and determination did convince Sultan bin Khalifa Al Nahyan to see Pakistan as a land of opportunity. This shows that Mr. Mohsin Habib Warraich has a belief that the country does hold a lot of potential in itself.
