It has been a great while since I last wrote a post for this blog. I apologize to those of you who wish I would write more frequently, and I say you're welcome to those who don't. I have been very busy and decided to put the blog on hiatus until I could spend the necessary time required to provide quality information.
I, however, decided to break the silence today after learning about a new billboard that is gracing the airspace of Salt Lake City.
This billboard is meant to awaken the people from the political warmongering comas to which we have all been subjected, especially during the GOP presidential debates. The idea is to help people realize that military action against Iran, as has been strongly supported by many politicians, is an act of support for the military-industrial complex (so named by President Eisenhower) and has nothing to do with our own security.

I feel that this is an important message to spread and since I have the platform to get the message out to at least a few people, I figured I should do my part. The website is very simple and provides very clear and basic information about why military action against Iran is not in the best interest of anyone. I strongly suggest you take a look at the site and inform yourself of the situation that is threatening our involvement in another war that does not have to be.
Here is a report from KSL news in Salt Lake City with one of the creators of the billboard and website bombiran.org:
While I whole-heartily support NOT going to war with Iran, I wonder if this billboard sends a confusing message. Driving by it with a friend, we were both concerned at what people might think the intention was. However, it is my personal belief that those who are less informed about Iran and have been led to believe that we should bomb them, may not have the time while driving by to understand such a sign. Although the message is meant for people who understand rhetoric like the "military-industrial complex", many people, who vote, may not. It's hard to promote something important when there is a lack of instant clarity. As for the well-placed intentions of the billboard's creators, I sincerely hope I'm wrong.
