Follow history and you will see the writings were on the wall when Hitler took power and began WWII. Are we going to just sit by while another madman starts WWIII?

Dean doesn’t get the cartoon, nor does the yahooing Emery.  I am not ridiculing the Iranians, nor am I expressing hatred towards Ahmadinejad.  I’m simply showing how the vilification of Iran by America and her allies has more to do with the paranoia and hypocrisy and racism of the West than it does with Ahmadinejad’s obvious right to join the catastrophic buffoonery of the nuclear club.

This cartoon reminds me of nazi cartoons depicting Jews - Propaganda indeed.

Yes, Dean...It’s called propaganda, and you can be on any side of the fence to use it effectively.

To prepare America to make war on another country, it is first necessary to persuade everyone that the country has evil intentions toward us, and that their leaders are also evil.  The de-humanization is first needed to allow Americans to feel justified in using our soldiers and national resources against the person/country we have been taught is evil.  The same system worked well under Hitler against Chekoslovakia and Poland.  It worked in the wars against the Communists in Korea and Vietnam.  It was successful for Bush in the pre-emptive invasion of Iraq.  It may well work again with Iran unless we become aware of the manipulation used by our leaders and media--such as this cartoon--to show some future enemy as deserving of our ridicule and/or hatred.  We seem too often to be sheep or buffalo to be stampeded over another cliff.  Then, in an effort to “support the troops” it seems that we keep going over.  Pity we forget our history.
