Israel's Iran Provocation

Our wonderful Mideast "ally"

Is dragging us into war.

We shouldn't be surprised.

It's what they've done before.

And even before we gave them

Their ethnic-supremacist state,

They led us deeply into gore

By throwing around their weight.

In the century that's past,

We needn't wonder who

Got us into World War I

And then into World War II.
