My heart aches for the people of Iran.

As an American, I am perpetually ashamed for the horrors made in my name. These atrocities are the designs of our ruling-class, cheered by our stupid-class and seemingly ordered by Israel.

Most sincere apologies to my fellow human beings in Iran, Lebanon, Gaza and everywhere else this two-headed beast has made death and despair. There are **many** of us here who do not want this to be the world we share.

This is completely tragic. Something has to be done immediately.

And the Trump regime doesn't understand why Americans refuse to take, "We had to attack Iran & destabilize the Middle East, because Israel threatened to attack Iran & destabilize the Middle East," for an answer.

This war is an unjust war. It is wrong. It is the work of mad men. We must strive to elect Democrats who can help build a resistance to Trump. At least then we'll have a louder voice against demented degraded men who let their power corrupt them. Power corrupts & absolute power corrupts absolutely. Rev Dr Kenneth D Stephens

This is chemical warfare.

Intentional chemical warfare.

Adding to other demoralizing effects of the war, Iran's secular new year celebration on March 21 is now irrelevant. In normal times, Norouz is by far the most festive time of the year - starting on spring equinox and continuing for 13 days. Every person employed in government and private sector is gifted an extra month's salary. Millions of families of all income levels scatter to domestic tourist destinations far from home. Even newspapers stop publishing for two weeks!! I doubt there'll be any of that this year even in communities that aren't near war devastation.

Israeli and US madmen are maniacal goons who must all cease to exist. If you dare, look at Lindsay Graham's wretched forked tongue spewing white phospherous with every ugly word.

What we are doing to the Iranian people is criminal. And it will come back to us.

More barbarity from the Israeli-US axis of evil, the worst actors in the world BY FAR. In lieu of writing out a long string of invective, I'll just say I'm disgusted to my core, and ashamed to be a US citizen.

I hope Drop Site News can soon, in addition to relaying voices from Iran's urban centers, report on the devastation likely hitting Iran's rural areas far from where bombs are falling. The farm sector was already nearly comatose due to years of nationwide severe drought before the war started. Now disrupted fuel and fertilizer deliveries threaten to make matters worse as sowing season begins. Perhaps you can find a contact at Iran's premier Faculty of Agriculture in Karaj.

This is what the US now contributes to international communications. We don't have negotiations any more, because no one in this administration knows how to negotiate. None of them have training in diplomacy, as they could get at Tufts' Fletcher School of Diplomacy or Johns Hopkins' School of International Studies. Or one could do it if he or she has the capacity to listen to one's opponent's point of view. The US has always had an anti-intellectual streak. The current presidential administration goes right to war. Very intelligent. Bibi hates Iran, so he gets he gets his bully friend to attack. Smart.

Americans! To the streets please! March 28th! And start calling your representatives! Every day!

How many more war crimes is Israel going to commit before the world disarms and dismantles this zionist terrorist regime and captures and prosecutes its military and political war criminals.
