"Inexcusable” actions?

It may very well be Palm Sunday, but that is no excuse for CNN to keep its main story headline unchanged for a whole day: Bush: Iran's actions 'inexcusable'. This is a blatant propaganda headline to stigmatize Iran and prepare the ground for launching war.

A dispute between Britain and Iran over a flimsy sea boundary has escalated and drawn in the big shots: U.S. president George W. Bush and Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. Now, even Britain wants to get out of the dispute as quickly and as peacefully as possible. If a cold dispute turns into a hot war, the 15 will be part of history...

Like a brainless parrot, Bush is just parroting the British line: “The Iranians took these people out of Iraqi water”. “They were innocent. They were doing nothing wrong. And they were summarily plucked out of water.” Actually, they were doing everything wrong, violating the sovereignty of Iran. Now that Bush has entered the fray, the capture of the 15 British sailors and marines may very well become the casus belli Washington has been waiting for.

Meanwhile, the British and U.S. press are instigating war: “The British government has so far appeared all too reasonable and indecisive”. “The kidnapping [...] was a premeditated act of aggression by Iran” (The Sunday Times: The bottom line for Iran) “If I were in charge, the special forces would have been there already” (The Washington Post: In Captured Britons' Home Port, Fury With Iran Is Personal)

Following the Iranian New Year holiday, in Tehran, the mood is also heating up, as Iranian students are protesting in front of the British embassy. (The Sunday Times: UK Embassy in Tehran hit by violent protest)

And Russian intelligence sources say American commanders will be ready to carry out an attack on Iran in early April (RIA Novosti: U.S. ready to strike Iran in early April - intelligence source).
