LaRouche Warned: Bush-Cheney Re-election Means Perpetual War
by Jeffrey Steinberg
At a conference in Dubai, neo-con Patrick Clawson, of the Washington Institute for Near East Policy, presented the Bush-Cheney Administration’s policy of a military strike against Iran: not “if,” but “when.” Lyndon LaRouche forecast the scenario last year: that if Bush were re-elected, the Administration would proceed immediately with military attacks on Iran and other nations. “Now people are getting it,” he commented on the Dubai report, “and they are saying: ‘Is it true?’ Of course it’s true! They intend to do it.” The policy is generating a storm of opposition in Washington, as well as among America’s allies abroad.

by Harley Schlanger
How was it that so many manipulated, impotent people who consider themselves Christian fundamentalists, suicidally cast their votes for George W. Bush? Harley Schlanger examines some of the historical and cultural roots of this phenomenon, which has misused the name of Christianity in order to destroy God-given reason, and leave men helpless before a very worldly oligarchy that seeks to control the nation.

Correction
In EIR of Jan. 21, 2005, the article “The Plot Against FDR: A Model for Bush’s Pinochet Plan Today,” on p. 32, mistakenly said that “the Swedish-based ball-bearing trust, Swedish Enskilda Bank (SKF), shipped ball bearings needed by the Allied war effort to Ibero-American Nazi-associated firms.” The correct name of the SKF is Svenska Kullager Fabriken, or Swedish Ball-Bearing Factory.
