I’ll admit that I am not the brightest guy in the world, especially when it comes to politics and whatnot, but…um…why does this scare the shit out of me? I went onto YouTube a few minutes ago to try and find a clip of Groucho Marx rubbing his hands together conspiratorially as I imagine this is what the Saudis must be doing right now. However, I can’t recall exactly which movie that clip is from and it is too late for me to go on an exhaustive search.

I’ll just say that this seems pretty dumb to me. I mean, I understand we want to keep Iran under wraps, right? But I feel an overwhelming sense of deja vu right now. I don’t really know why. It just seems like America has done this before. When was it? When was it? Well, I’m sure it will come to me sooner or later. Wait! I remember now.

Does this look familiar?

Twenty-five years later and we’re right back at it. Israel’s shaking in their boots right now too. So…we’re gonna give them a little help to assuage their fears as well. More weapons for the Saudis. More military might for Israel. Ahh (hands behind our heads), what could possibly go wrong? Better watch out Iran. We’ve got your number!

Since I couldn’t find the Marx Brothers clip I was searching for, I included the one below. Actually, it is appropriate as well, as I feel that maybe the first tune sung is the tune we should be singing to the Middle East right about now.
