George Galloway on Why It Would be Insane to Attack Iran

Here we have the former British MP, George Galloway, in a radio interview, blasting “James in Suffolk” for advocating “strategic strikes” on Iran. I’m a fan of Galloway because he opposed the invasion of Iraq and in the end he was correct in all of his predictions as to what would happen if the invasion occurred.

I’m promising you this: Do not imagine that Iran will treat a strategic strike any differently from a full-scale invasion. Trust me on this James, I know what I’m talking about. If we bomb Iran, Iran will bomb us back, and amongst the places it will bomb us is here in the center of London. Innocent people will die. Don’t imagine for one second that the deaths will be restricted to Iranians in the north of Iran or anywhere else. Any attack on Iran will be met by a full scale response by Iran, everywhere and anywhere. Trust me on that James.

[...]

I’m telling you James, and you seem strangely unmoved by it, Iran is not a broken-backed country. Don’t imaging this as some cheap, broken down, darkest, African, impotent, defenseless country that you are oh so [inaudible] seeking to talk us into bombing. Iran will respond ferociously everywhere if we attack Iran.

Self-defense James.
