Benny Morris Justifies Israel's Coming Attack on Iran
A nuclear attack on a nation of seventy million people (a great many of them innocent of the desire to wipe Israel off the map) is morally indefensible. How can Morris defend it?
McCain's Got 99 Problems

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.
Criticizing McCain's Senior Moments is Fair Game
If McCain, who brags about his foreign policy credentials, can't get the facts right about who shares a border with whom and who's helping who in different struggles, he is not qualified to lead this country.

Wish To Be Poor and Unemployed? Support Military Attacks on Iran
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.
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.
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.

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.

Brian Williams To Interview Ahmadinejad From Tehran

The problem is BRIAN can't just be straightforward with this guy
and tell him the only reason they have a nuclear program in the
first place is because the USA and France and the UK and Germany
were nice enoough for decades to allow their students to come
study physics and engineering in the West. This is the truth....as
a civilization their glory days were back back back before modern
science and technology. Their INGRATITUDE is palpable......they
need to recognize they are projecting an image of either being or
becoming a CLEAR AND PRESENT DANGER and this will lead
the REPUBLICAN WAR PARTY TO MOUNT AGAIN AN
AGGRESSIVE CAMPAIGN that will destroy their facilities both
above and below ground. obviously the next 99 days are critical
due to the election. BRIAN SHOULD LAY OUT THE PROBLEM
and suggest the Reps are looking for a little gratitude and not
missile firings....
"Excerpts from the interview will also air Monday on "Today," MSNBC, and msnbc.com." CUT AND SPLICE, CUT AND SPLICE, ETC. ETC.
I'm very glad the president of Iran is answering questions. Hopefully Williams will not follow the advice of many of the posters here and ask him questions that have nothing to do with his country like "has the surge worked?" and other nonsense like that.
How about..."What's Iran's position on the longterm settlement of Iraqi refugees who have fled to Iran?" if you want to ask questions about Iraq.
Good. Ahmadinejad may be a wingnut, but IMO its crucial that Americans start seeing Iranians as actual people, that are in a similar boat as we are: with a goofball leader that doesn't represent us. Maybe then we can avoid yet another pointless war.
Hmmm, maybe a left hook by I'm-a-Don will straighten out Brian's nose and face.
That'll be an improvement.
