Sun wages war on "Sunni" Iran. posted by Richard Seymour
The Sun's sinister, bearded, dextral lunatic Trevor Kavanagh has written an article salivating over a potential war with Iran. The usual reasons are given - 'Our Boys' are being targeted by 'terrorists'; Iran is trying to get nukes; Iran is a state run by big scary Mussies. However, the most compelling reason that 'we' may find ourselves invading Iran is as follows:It also strikes fear into the hearts of Iran's Arab neighbours who are convinced they are pawns in a power grab which will establish Sunni Iran as the dominant Islamic force in the Gulf. [Emphasis added]
Presumably a subconscious slip related to the efforts to demonise Sunni Muslims in Iraq. Next we'll be hearing about the Iran-Al Qaeda connection.
