When you say "most extremist powers" do mean "more extreme" than the Patriot Act?
Let's not play dumb here. The President of the United States, with the US military standing firmly behind him, has a huge amount of tools and power at it's disposal. I wouldn't be surprised at all if the US already had Special Forces in Iran right now; We had boots on the ground in Iraq months before hostilities broke out.
Who do you think is fucking with Iran over their nuclear power, killing their scientists? If it's not Israel it's the US - Might be a combination of both.
It's funny how how people bitched at Bush for the Patriot Act and now people are bitching about Obama with this. This is how our government works, this is how they protect us. Doesn't matter who is in office.
