Would a war with Iran distract you from the announced activities of the Federal reserve & unemployment?

Food stamp use which makes money for JP Morgan hit as high as 1 in 12 the last time I looked It was 1 in 10 as Bush left office and rose slightly to 40 million under Obama in about the 6th month of taking his office --- I am sure the next sequence of reporting will likely show an increase but we will have to wait

Unemployment U6 index is close to 20 % while main stream media reports U1 at 10 %

The world banks are denouncing the plan to flood the market with even more US cash to pay for a debt which no one is buying in the form of Treasury bills any longer

The devaluing of the US dollar is close to unimportant next to the issue of hyperinflation especially when it is noted that true inflation in the western industrial world is over 400 % in less than 40 years while wage increases remain in the single to double digit % area depending upon the industry

The activities of the fed and its dollar dumping and massive unemployment

Would a war with Iran distract you from all that ?

Update:

No religion

Well that would be 100% of the plot I expected with none of the players I suspected being targeted

Something to think about -- thanks

    Of course a war would distract us...but I don't think it will be with Iran. Watch the Kashmir providence..... India,Pakistan and, China. The deterioration of the U.S. /Pakistan alliance. Their already gearing up for war.

    Why else would Secretary of Defense Gates be in Australia, the very same week President Obama was in India to talk about increasing U.S. foot soldiers in South East Asia and, Australia?

    I agree with you 100% that a war would be a distraction from the economic turmoil that is taking place, I made that apparent in my first statement... I just wanted to draw your attention as well as everybody else's to the sequence of events that have occurred in South East Asia. Three senior officials of the U.S. government in one region within one months time is pretty big news. Especially when Sec Def. Gates visit to Australia to discuss increasing U.S. troop presence in South East Asia was drained out by the media's focus on Obama's tour of Asia.

    Of course it would! Distractions are what the U.S. government does best, in order to brainwash its own citizens. What I find really interesting is that history has a tendency repeat itself:

    Greed -> Great Depression -> World War II

    Greed -> Greatest Depression -> World War III (starting with Iran perhaps?) -> Collapse of U.S. empire maybe?

    If we start a war with Iran, I am officially leaving the country. And the reason why the government reports unemployment at only 10% is because they don't count the people that stopped searching for jobs.

    EDIT: You want to know what the funny thing is? The Democraps will blaim it all on the Republishits, and vise-versa and if we are lucky to see it before the U.S. collapses, maybe in the 2012 election the Democrats or Republicans will gain more power and everyone will cheer like that is actually supposed to mean something.

    No. And I doubt it would help the economy either. The only thing to do with Iran is to let it collapse of its own accord. Perhaps some radio free Europe style propaganda broadcasts and a little serreptitious money to the democratic opposition parties would help.

    No because dear Evelyn de Rothschild and "the friends of the family" would be responsible for the "Red Dawn" that will eventually ensue on our soil and then anarchy would happen after that money is useless in the us as well as dozens of other countries. THUS, liberal hippies and conspiracy theorists will never have there Utopian Society Dreams straight from "puffy" the magic dragon.
