Whereas the implications of a war with Iran for the national security of the US would be much worse than those of the Iraq war, little has been said about the implications for our economic security here at home.
Scary Thought: Is Condi Rice Our Last, Best Chance for Peace?
Condi needs to either convince the president what a catastrophe attacking Iran would be. Or, failing that, break with the administration and do the noble thing by resigning while it still might make a difference.
Abizaid: "Iran Is Not a Suicide State; Deterrence Will Work"
Although he didn't say it outright, General Abizaid's implicit view seemed to be that the world would not be able to stop Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon and that we would have to learn to live with it.
McCain Issues Top Ten Funniest Ways to Kill Iranians
McCain, who yesterday commented that the U.S. could kill Iranians with cigarettes, was apparently "just warming up," one aide said today.

As the 63rd anniversary of the atomic bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki approaches, the world continues to face a litany of nuclear concerns.
Professor Benny Morris: Nuclear War to Avoid Nuclear War
The terms "preemption" and "self defense" that Israeli hawks like Morris throw around are nothing but euphemisms for aggressive war and military violence.
Iran: Reading Tehran With Lolita (Time to Publish Iranian Writers)
While Azar Nafisi's bestselling Reading Lolita in Tehran, chronicled her efforts to teach forbidden Western literature, most Americans would be hard pressed to recall a single novel from Nafisi's native country.

Iran and the US: Beyond the War of Rhetoric
McCain's belief that Iran is going to hand weapons over to terrorist organizations such as Hezbollah is unlikely because the Iranian government is fully aware that other countries could identify Iran as the provider.
Iran Resolution Must Change
I am not willing to leave even the "slightest crack" open for this president to unilaterally set this nation down another disastrous path of war in Iran.

Brian Williams To Interview Ahmadinejad From Tehran
Want to reply to a comment? Hint: Click "Reply" at the bottom of the comment; after being approved your comment will appear directly underneath the comment you replied to
Have we become so jaded that we question why a journalist would interview a head of state who is having disagreements with the West, instead of asking, why aren't we having diplomatic relations and dialogue with this country?
The rationale for not having discussions with any and all countries in the world is a gauranteed recipe for disaster. Taken to its logical conclusion, we would never listen to anyone else's point of view, but only give them orders.
What other countries refuse to talk with and refuse to have diplomatic relations with Iran?
Iraq, Britain, France, Germany, Russia, China,...........just about the only country on the face of the planet that doesn't want to talk with other countries is the United States.
Agreed wholeheartedly Mamacat.
you make lots of sense, mamacat.
appeaser!
Maybe Brian could run for vice-president of Iran.
Will Ahmadinejad endorse Barack for President?
He's rooting for McCain, so he might.
I suspect that the interviewer will try to get such a statement from Ahmadinejad. It would be great fodder for the McCain campaign. I just hope A. doesn't oblige.
Probably not. Not overtly, anyway.
