[Peace-discuss] Kolko weighs in…a sanguine view.

[Jenifer Cartwright]

Updated version of, "But Mr Lincoln, what if they gave a war and nobody came?" Wishful thinking I'd say (well, it's what I wish, anyway). Not too likely we can count on the military to revolt, or the Iraq war would already be over.

  The Bush-Cheney administration, as the Iraq war proved, is full of mad, irrational people, and there is no way to account for them. But not everyone in Washington thinks like them, especially in the military, and those on Wall Street who have the most to lose from a war have great political influence. We are obligated to count on them because that is they way the U.S. has operated for decades. According to an article in Salon, Sept. 28, “the military would revolt and there would be no pilots to fly those missions” were it ordered to war against Iran. Without them, there is no danger. The American public is a small factor, as elections have repeatedly shown, but may play some role also. But the U.S. fights wars and loses most of them. The U.S. is very likely to lose a war with Iran if it fights. It probably will not.
