It’s a replay of the run-up to the Iraq war: a dictator in a Middle Eastern country, allegations of “weapons of mass destruction,” a loud chorus of pro-war voices in both parties.

Are we about to make the same mistake twice?

We’re working 24/7 to debunk the War Party’s propaganda, of which there is plenty in the “mainstream” media. But we can’t do it without your help. Help keep us out of another Middle Eastern quagmire – make your tax-deductible contribution to Antiwar.com today.
