Jon Wiener: Who Wants To Bomb Iran? Democrats, Not Republicans, Says Seymour Hersh - Off The Bus on The Huffington Post: "When I asked Hersh who wants to bomb Iran, he said, 'Ironically there is a lot of pressure coming from Democrats. Hillary Clinton, Obama, and Edwards have all said we cannot have a nuclear-armed Iran. Clearly the pressure from Democrats is a reflection of - we might as well say it - Israeli and Jewish input.' He added the obvious: 'a lot of money comes to the Democratic campaigns' from Jewish contributors."

These include a complex entanglement with the accelerated preparations for a possible attack on Iran, and a poisonous, sectarian aspect that could have the consequence of ripping Syria and the Middle East apart.
