Much attention has been given to the Bush Admin's preparations for possible war against Iran as well as its drive to impose sanctions. Meanwhile, a less noticed policy has been unfolding, one that may in time prove to have grave consequences. There is a covert war underway in Iran, still in its infancy, but with disturbing signs of impending escala

The Bush administration's message to its enemies has been very clear: if you possess WMD you're safe, and if you don't, you're fair game. Iraq had no nuclear weapons and was invaded, Iran doesn't as well and risks attack, yet that other "Axis of Evil" country, North Korea, reportedly does have nuclear weapons and is left alone.

As the US-Iran standoff escalates toward its inevitable denouement, analysts are busily gaming scenarios that may lead to the commencement of hostilities. Only the naive take solace in the illusion of peace, for it will take nothing less than a miracle of biblical proportions for either peace or de-escalation to prevail.

Unfortunately, Iran's geo-strategic location in Eurasia places that nation at odds with any superpower that may wish to exert undue influence in the region, for whatever reasons, as in the case of the United States. And the timing, after Bush's failure in Iraq, couldn't be any more propitious for placing Iran as a scapegoat for this president.

The troop surge is about provoking and preparing war with Iran and has nothing to do with stabilizing Iraq. The plan is to escalate tension further so sectarian violence divides the Middle East along ethnic lines. It has always been divide and rule and time is running out...

An attack on Iran, which poses no immediate or imminent threat to the United States, would be the most heinous of international war crimes--a "crime against peace" violating the UN Charter and the Nuremburg Charter. It would also be a strategic disaster that would dwarf even the president's collassal strategic blunder in invading Iraq.
