In a civilized society, should anyone or any government ever force anyone to do anything against his or her will as long as that person does not infringe upon the life, liberty, or property of another?

Neocons love to scare us about big, bad Iran

The neocons are at it again. They love fear. Vice President Dick Cheney, of course Bush himself, and Norman Podhoretz, author, are warning us about the evils of Iran and how they want to take over the world. But is Iran really a threat?

As you'll see in this article, how scared should we be of a country with an economy the size of Finland's? Iran spends only $4.8 billion on defense, while the United States spends 110 times as much! Also, our Gross Domestic Product is 68 times greater. Plus, to invade America, Iran would have to maneuver across the Mediterrean and Atlantic, where they would be destroyed.

Don't buy in. Just say no. Don't believe them as they conjure up more goblins for us to be scared about.
