Creator Explains Message Behind "Bomb Iran" Billboard

02/25/2012 http://www.bombiran.org/



WEST VALLEY CITY, UTAH — A billboard along I-215 that says "Bomb Iran!" is meant to suggest just the opposite at a time when tensions between Iran and the West continue to escalate.

"The war drums are beating very loudly," said bombiran.org organizer Connor Boyack, a 30-year-old Web designer in Lehi, who hopes the somewhat-confusing design of his billboard prompts people who see it to "pause, think about it, ponder it and go read about it."

Boyack is not suggesting a single, grand conspiracy is pushing the United States toward a war in Iran but believes the combined effects of propagandists and a diverse military-industrial complex could be. He said his objective is to push back.

"It's hard to see the unintended consequences," he said, pointing to the speed at which reports about Iraq's nuclear capabilities led to war before those threats were fully vetted, and later found to be without merit.

"Let's look at the past and apply those lessons to the future. Let's slow down and look at this a little," Boyack said.

He also hopes to unhitch the connection between "supporting the troops" and engaging in war. "We want to support the troops by keeping them home with their families," he said.

The billboard went up Thursday, and Boyack said traffic to the accompanying bombiran.org webiste has been brisk since then. He said the initiative's Utah roots have the financial support of about 50 financial contributors so far, many of whom are outside the state.

If financial support continues, Boyack said he and other supporters hope to put up similar billboards elsewhere, targeting primary-election states.

"Canadian Military Sales to Israel".
Canada's political support of Israel is well known; its military, intelligence and arms trade with Israel are not.

Netanyahu seeks CANADA Accomplices

MR. HARPER STEPHEN is caught between two allies. As Prime Minister-MR. NETANYAHU BENJAMIN travels to North America in a high-stakes gambit, to find political support for a [MILITARY INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX] strike on Iran, MR. HARPER wants to back his Israeli ally without ticking off a bigger one in Washington.

No, we don’t want to bomb Iran…

The military offensive in Iraq over the past decade was based on a lie. The same policymakers, lobbyists, and talking heads who encouraged our involvement in that affair are now drumming up support for another war, this one in Iran.

If and when that war begins, the pundits will try their hardest to equate patriotism with support of that war. “Support the troops!” they will say. But such a war would not be in support of the military, but rather the military-industrial complex.

We must deny war profiteers the opportunity to destroy a beautiful country and people to line their pockets.

The history of Iran suggests we take another course: diplomacy and peace.
