Manufacturing Consent
Where will Nobel laureate Obama launch next war? Yemen or Iran?
Which cradle of civilization will he attack first? Iran has been a target for a long time but recently there is a lot of buzz in the media about Yemen and Al Qaeda. It seems like manufactured consent to me.
Yemen is considered a cradle of civilization? Never knew.
Anyways, in this situation, which I consider unlikely to begin with, I’m going with Iran. First, they pose more of a threat, and second the American people are more likely to approve of a war against Iran since they are more aware about how horrible that regime is, and how much it conflicts with many of their core values. Iran might be one of the cradles of civilization; however, while they did progress, with the Islamic Revolution in 1979 they certainly fell back centuries.
I hope that Iran does change, and that the regime that’s figurehead is Achmadinejad will fall and the Iranians get someone that actually cares about them to run their country.
