Letter: Here we go again?

Editor, Daily News:

A thick head and a thin skin are a scary combination. They lead to irresponsible behavior — like betting the rent money at the poker table or picking a dumb fight with the next-door neighbor. Unfortunately, we have three more years of a president with this kind of personality.

Even though his domestic policies have led us to economic disaster (one-half trillion dollars in the hole this year and bigger numbers to come) and his invasion of Iraq is the worst foreign policy decision in our history, we have more to fear from George W. Bush.

Now the Bush administration is pitching the same nonsense about Iran that they used to start a phony war with Iraq. It starts with lies to raise the fear level.

Our State Department accuses Iran of supplying the Sunni insurgency with roadside bombs to kill our troops; no evidence is supplied. Iran is Shiite. They have no love for the Sunni, whom they believe to be heretics, much less desire to arm them.

The lie is intended to make a war.

John Bolton, U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, claims that Iran "has concealed a large-scale covert nuclear weapons program for over eight years." Yet the International Atomic Energy Commission has found no evidence that Iran even has a weapons program.

Bush wants to attack Iran. Two aircraft carriers are sailing to the Persian Gulf on standby. Standby for what? Shore leave for the sailors?

It's time to raise our voices to keep Bush from going off the deep end again.
