...that Iran will battle Israel. So, if someone in Syria sneezes--AIPAC takes that as some kind of sign that there is a disturbance in the Middle-East force that could harm Israel. Furthermore, this means that the US must react against this sneeze and prove that it is aligned with Israel, and do whatever the hell they want. Even if that means bombing innocent people.

I love crazy, don't you?

They're a gaggle of religious fanatics, who believe that prophesy and superstition should control US foreign policy--and galvanize us into war, killing innocents and bankrupting our nation.

The 1 percent in control of this planet are completely batshit crazy. Meanwhile, the rest of us just sit back and watch them go off the deep end, with our money and our futures in their hands.

It's nuts.
