War with Iran?

An interesting article from Al-Jazeera: US war with Iran has already begun

As we speak, American over flights of Iranian soil are taking place, using pilotless drones and other, more sophisticated, capabilities... The most visible of these is the CIA-backed actions recently undertaken by the Mujahadeen el-Khalq, or MEK, an Iranian opposition group, once run by Saddam Hussein's dreaded intelligence services, but now working exclusively for the CIA's Directorate of Operations... But the CIA-backed campaign of MEK terror bombings in Iran are not the only action ongoing against Iran. To the north, in neighbouring Azerbaijan, the US military is preparing a base of operations for a massive military presence that will foretell a major land-based campaign designed to capture Tehran... US military planners have already begun war games calling for the deployment of multi-divisional forces into Azerbaijan.

With everyone's heads rooted in the events of the past, many are missing out on the crime that is about to be repeated by the Bush administration in Iran - an illegal war of aggression, based on false premise, carried out with little regard to either the people of Iran or the United States. Most Americans, together with the mainstream American media, are blind to the tell-tale signs of war, waiting, instead, for some formal declaration of hostility, a made-for-TV moment such as was witnessed on 19 March 2003.

If the Bush administration were to start a war against Iran at this point, I am certain it would not be supported by the citizens or the congress. The costs of another war, both financial and human, would simply be too great to accept.

However, I wish I had the confidence that the lack of public support would, alone, be sufficient to prevent such a war from getting started. Given the behavior of this administration, I am not at all sure they wouldn't find some way to start a war anyway. In particular, I wouldn't be surprised if they either provoked or fabricated an "attack" from Iran, in order to justify invasion.
