Obama Too Beats Up on Iran

The Left Coaster picks up on a report in the Baltimore Sun about Barack Obama's recent speech to a Chicago regional committee of AIPAC, in which he tells his audience that Iran is a major threat to the U.S., Israel and world peace. Gimme a break! Now Obama is joining other Democrats Edwards and Clinton in bashing Iran. Instead of repeating charges devoid of evidence, let's sit down and negotiate.

All this Iran-bashing does is make it easier for Bush and Cheney to start a preventive war against Iran. This would be akin to Hitler invading Poland. A totally unjustified and immoral war without any basis or evidence to define it as in self-defense. Completely against the Charter of the United Nations. Yet this is what Cheney and Bush must mean when they say "all options are on the table."
