White House Stifles Dissent

As we have seen in the past, the White House is once again in the headlines for stifling debate on a very important issue.

The Iraq Study Group came out with its recommendations recently, of which one of the most important I believe is opening up channels of dialogue with the Islamic Republic of Iran and Syria. This goes a long way in bringing sensitive issues between the two countries to the table. It is my firm belief that if this happens the chances of war are minimized and the chicken hawks in the Bush White House lose all clout in starting a war.

Since the Bush Administration wants none of that and unfortunately seems hell bent on confronting Iran militarily while maintaining its stubbornness it is no surprise that I read this article in the International Herald Tribune.
