When

the question is not “if,” but when the Israeli government decides to attack Iran, just what do you think you’ll be doing? will you be home watching afternoon television, maybe “The Talk,” or “Anderson Cooper,” guzzling down Coca-Cola & stuffing yourself full of garlic knots or cheese balls? will you be picking your kids up from school? slaving away overtime at work? making sweet love to your lovebuddy in a jacuzzi? munching a handful of shrooms alone in your room? just how oblivious to it all will we be, when, like a chicken with its head cut off, the Israeli government preemptively attacks, invades & obliterates Iran, using their nuclear energy program as the excuse? will we americans wonder why the empire didn’t step in front of our crazy little brother & tell him to chill out? or will we sit back & let him charge in as he did in 1982 when he invaded Lebanon, killing nearly 28,000 Lebanese, Syrians & Palestinians (not counting those wounded)? will we just give him a little slap on the wrist, saying, “now, now, little brother, you know you can’t go and do that without our permission.” will we think about the domino effect that will occur directly thereafter? will we cry “why do they hate us?” like we did when 9/11 occurred? will we pretend we knew nothing of this psychotic venture, or will we just hope that nothing comes to the shores of the empire? afterall, it’s just one more country whose oil we need to rape & drain, right? it’s just another people that weren’t doing what they were told, since they kicked out the Shah in 1979, right? the fact that the empire’s crazy little brother struck first will be seen as a good thing, and it will be paraded all over the american media as “something that needed to happen--- something that was inevitable.” will we be able to remember where we were when those first stealths fly in, and in the same breath, ignore all the tenets of UN Security Council Resolution 1887 which calls for peacefully resolved nuclear weapon disputes, in opposition to unopposed attack? if on that day, when all caution is thrown to the wind & the perpetrators within the little brother of the empire close their eyes & flick the switches, we americans, we current residents of the empire, have the audacity to ask what exactly is happening when the world starts to spin upside down, we should be so lucky that someone will be left alive to slap us hard in the face.
