Let's not forget the recent fallacy of Iraq. The entire premise for war was a lie and that is only one of countless faulty premises invented by the US government since WW2. Usually they involve smaller state sponsored terrorist attacks. The bombing of Libya in the 1980's for instance was particularly random and all of the US evidence fabricated. It is just that the US media is unwilling to go against the interests of Washington Hawks.

The propaganda and hype about Iran is much the same thing. The very idea that people are talking of the need for regime change bewilders me. Iran is admittedly a very dodgy place, but is it any more dodgy than countless other states in the world? Would anyone like to live in Saudi Arabia for instance? So let's invade them right? Oh, but it isn't in our interests.

I think war is way off, but I wouldn't bet against mini America (Israel) attempting to do something nutty in order to bolster domestic standing. It wouldn't be the first time.
