It always pays to go argue with people, to exit the city and hang out in towns where Republicans tend to breed.  In a cafe in Manchester, NH, a friend uncovered the mindset of the poor dupes who want us to attack Iran.  She was wearing her impeach Bush-Cheney sticker when a few young males started in on her, which is interesting because she being about 5'3" always seems to draw fire of this sort, whereas I wear my sticker everywhere but, benching 300, guys seem to hold their tongues, and I am actually looking for these "loud discussions" whereas she is not.  Lesson number one: the Brownshirt mentality is cowardly.  I can't count the number of times women who wear impeachment stickers tell me they get it constantly, and here I am lonely and no one wants to talk about what I want to talk about, except beefy union-looking dudes who walk over with their hands outstretched saying F-ing A!  Impeach!

Cutting to the chase, these people have bought the Amadinajed-as-Hitler line hook-line-and-sinker.  Friend reports that the most heated arguer was "invoking the death camps in Germany & a friend of his telling me that if I didn't want a war with Iran, I was spitting on his grandmother's grave."

I wonder if Amadinajed knows how perfectly his remarks on Israel, meant to bolster his standing among Middle East hardliners, have played into Bush's set-up of Iran as the new Nazi Germany?  This is a guy who gets booed at his own Iranian University.  His support in Iran is zilch.

This is a valuable insight.  If the Iranians were smart they would dump him, for stupidity.  No one says they can't stand up to the United States, but a good politician should have a clue about how different people think and know how to weigh their words, a skill neither Bush nor Amadinajed have.  We're following two idiots over a cliff.  This was an impassioned argument in that cafe.  No sneers about turning the Middle East into a parking lot or to hell with them all.  These guys really, truly believed this Hitler shit.  I feel sorry for them, and think I understand now.

If Bush bombs Iran, it will be based on a false flag attack against us.  He will eventually be impeached or run out of office, because the retaliatory terror attacks right here are guaranteed.  Iran is no Iraq.  I would just prefer to avoid the round of civilian casualties, domestic attacks, martial law, social unrest, Americans fighting Americans, and eventual restoration of the republic that we will have to go through, and all the attendant grieving, because of the media's decision to go along with Bush's set-up uncritically.  It would be beyond what our national soul could bear, to bomb Iran after what we did to them in 1953.

Can we save ourselves all this grief and just impeach them now?  

Chart with contact links to the major campaign contributors of all members of the House Judiciary Committee, where the impeachment of Cheney is now bottled up.  Beg, please not another dime until they do their duty to impeach.
