To you, is it movement or is it action?
Is it contact or just reaction?
And you...revolution or just resistance?
Is it living, or just existence?
Yeah, you! It takes a little more persistence

Her arguments were very compelling. Particularly I like the rhetorical question - "Is Bush a dictator!?" Hell yeah, he is, if this happens.
He based the report on accounts from current and former military, intelligence, and congressional sources.
"I can tell you flatly that U.S. forces are not operating across the Iraqi border into Iran, in the south or anywhere else," Crocker said.
"Just how does a president of the United States attack a nation just before leaving office?
How is that done leaving the turmoil for the NEXT president?

Guys, calm down. Look at the paragraph again and notice the last sentence:
The Bush administration has launched a "significant escalation" of covert operations in Iran, sending U.S. commandos to spy on the country's nuclear facilities and undermine the Islamic republic's government, journalist Seymour Hersh said Sunday.
Congress has authorized up to $400 million to fund the secret campaign, which involves U.S. special operations troops and Iranian dissidents.
Also, please cite the whole article - there are some things in there that cast doubt on this story:
He based the report on accounts from current and former military, intelligence, and congressional sources.
"I can tell you flatly that U.S. forces are not operating across the Iraqi border into Iran, in the south or anywhere else," Crocker said.
"The CIA, as a rule, does not comment on allegations regarding covert operations," CIA spokesman Paul Gimigliano said.
Ryan Crocker, the U.S. ambassador in Baghdad, denied U.S. raids were being launched from Iraq...
Hersh said U.S. efforts were staged from Afghanistan, which also shares a border with Iran.
I wouldn't push the panic button just yet, but I will be keeping an eye on the story and events as they unfold.
