Another of the PNAC's "best and brightest" has added his voice to the chorus calling for a war of aggression against Iran.

The following letter to Kagan was forwarded from a friend. The linked images are disturbing.

"Dr. Kagan:

As you and your PNAC associates are working so assiduously to trigger a "pre-emptive" attack against Iran (a nation which has neither attacked nor threatened to attack either Israel or the US and is a signatory of the NNPT), and as you evidently take great pride in your "authorship" of the Iraq invasion, occupation and "surge", I am compelled to recommend a few photographs for your consideration. Although there are many thousands like them on the internet, somehow I sense you may not have had the opportunity to view them. As an academic myself, I understand how easily such abstractions as "war", "empire" and "national interest" can obscure the palpable facts of their realization.

Of course--as your own military service no doubt informs you--"war is hell". And perhaps it is true you cannot secure the Iraqi oil fields for Exxon et al and numerous permanent bases without 'breaking a few eggs". Still, you should take a good look before you go back on MSNBC to provide "intellectual" support for another war of aggression.

By the way, most of the US public for which you have such poorly concealed contempt know that even an Israeli assault on Iran would quickly involve the US in a perilous confrontation with Russia. Your cohort has already managed to revive the "Cold War". Is this all part of the plan? If so, it seems an awfully reckless business. The world is not a game of Risk, Dr. Kagan. Real people and their children have to live in it.

Respectfully,"

Perhaps Dr. Kagan and his comrades should receive more such messages.
