And they say Hollywood keeps making the same movie over and over...

Kevin Drum notes that the Iraq script is now being replayed in the context of Iran:

The Israelis have made it clear that they believe Iran is fast becoming an imminent threat that justifies preemptive attack.



There's a multinational effort underway to persuade Iran to stop enriching uranium. The Europeans think they've reached a solid agreement, but the United States remains skeptical.



An exile group is loudly claiming that the Iranians are lying and there's a secret enrichment facility the Europeans don't know about.



Liberal hawk Kenneth Pollack has a big new book out telling us how dangerous Iran is.



I can't be the only one to think I've seen this script before, can I? Is real life turning into Groundhog Day?

And they say Hollywood keeps making the same movie over and over again. Hell, at least with Alfie you get to look at Jude Law for two hours. Here all you get is a frightened American population, a bunch of freepers out for blood, and a shitload of dead and wounded American kids.
