JOHN BOLTON WANTS TO BOMB IRAN

I want to point out a disturbing article in The Daily Telegraph today on John Bolton and his statements/views that the United States should attack Iran before it gets a nuclear bomb. Toby Harnden writes:

"Iran should be attacked before it develops nuclear weapons, America's former ambassador to the United Nations said yesterday.

"John Bolton, who still has close links to the Bush administration, told The Daily Telegraph that the European Union had to "get more serious" about Iran and recognise that its diplomatic attempts to halt Iran's enrichment programme had failed."

Harnden quotes Bolton as to the United States going it alone in attacking Iran:

"If we can't get enough other countries to come along with us to do that, then we've got to go with regime change by bolstering opposition groups and the like, because that's the circumstance most likely for an Iranian government to decide that it's safer not to pursue nuclear weapons than to continue to do so. And if all else fails, if the choice is between a nuclear-capable Iran and the use of force, then I think we need to look at the use of force."

I find it amazing that there are people like John Bolton out there who believe the way to solve all world problems is with guns and bombs. This is what makes the United States government, as it now exists with Bush and Cheney at the top, so dangerous to world peace and order. Has anyone ever told these guys that war planes can never provide the answer? Instead of making enmities that will last centuries, the United States should sit down and negotiate with countries like Iran, instead of constantly demonizing and bombing them.
