To obliterate means to destroy utterly; to wipe out.
Do we really need Iran?
What have the Iranians done for us? A revolution and women in black? Why don't just have friends ruling Iran like those in Egypt?
At least the Americans have brought us Elvis and Michael, Jeans, Sharon Stone and porno, Hollywood and Schwarzenegger, Marlboro, MacDonald's and Donald Duck, Bill Clinton and Bill Gates...
Putting aside geopolitical economy, protecting allies (Saudi Arabia, UAE, Israel), having control (not the need) over hydrocarbons, limitng the expansion of China's and Russia's spheres of influence, capital expansion and markets... one should look at it in another way:
It could be that a new spectatcle is in the making. Imagine how many people will be watching, even discovering where Iran is! Imagine how many discussion will take place and how many articles will be written!
And let's shout with the pacifists: "Stop the War", "Peace Now!" And in a year or two we go to the ballot box so that we maintain our democracy.
When they use force/bombings/sanctions/ they call it war, stopping the development of nuclear weapons, defending an ally, democracy, even liberating women and gays...When others use force they call it terrorism.
Warning: you should not read this poem or show ot to someone. You should not even look at it or let other people utter its title. You might be accused of anti-Americanism and anti-Semitism.
I am with terrorism
and
America, America
