The Bomb Iran Faction
By Gary Leupp
There is clearly a faction of the power elite that is, and has
for some years been pressing, for a U.S. military attack on Iran. It is not
advocating a war, at least openly, or an occupation of that vast nation;
rather, it is advocating an operation similar in concept to the Israeli attack
on Iraq's French-built Osiraq nuclear reactor in 1981. In a word, it is both
advocating an Israeli-like action and justifying it explicitly as one on behalf
of Israel.
