The Case for Bombing Iran
I hope and pray that President Bush will do it.

Although many persist in denying it, I continue to believe that what Sept 11, 2001, did was to plunge us headlong into nothing less than another world war. I call this new war World War IV, because I also believe that what is generally known as the Cold War was actually World War III, and that this one bears a closer resemblance to that great conflict than it does to World War II. Like the Cold War, as the military historian Eliot Cohen was the first to recognize, the one we are now in has ideological roots, pitting us against Islamofascism, yet another mutation of the totalitarian disease we defeated first in the shape of Nazism and fascism and then in the shape of communism; it is global in scope; it is being fought with a variety of weapons, not all of them military; and it is likely to go on for decades.
Not so George W. Bush, a man who knows evil when he sees it and who has demonstrated an unfailingly courageous willingness to endure vilification and contumely in setting his face against it. It now remains to be seen whether this president, battered more mercilessly and with less justification than any other in living memory, and weakened politically by the enemies of his policy in the Middle East in general and Iraq in particular, will find it possible to take the only action that can stop Iran from following through on its evil intentions both toward us and toward Israel. As an American and as a Jew, I pray with all my heart that he will.

Yet another yowl emanating from the lunatic war mongers who use war like some people use Viagra; it give them a "surge" between their legs.
And after Iran is turned into glass, then what country is next on Israel's hit list?
Let me guess??? Saudi Arabia. Bingo. The American MSM will be ordered to start running pieces on how 14 of the 19 "alleged" hijackers were from Saudi Arabia.
After whipping the gullible American public into a frenzy, including branding whoever the leader of that country is as "another Hitler", Israel will again yet to use her favorite mercanaries, the US Military.
Podohertz, if you and Israel want to bomb Iran, go ahead. Just leave the US out of your land and water resource wars.
Norman Podohertz - an asshole during Vietnam & an asshole now.

this post is a mess. What is the point, and do you expect anyone to take you seriously using this kind of over-the-top rhetoric?

The point is that American foreign policy has been hijacked by the Likudniks in Israel and America.
These fools put Israel first, last and always. And use American muscle and might to get what they want in the Middle East.
Resulting in a horrible cost for America, both in terms of wealth and lives lost fighting wars for Israel.
"to take you seriously using this kind of over-the-top rhetoric?"
The only over-the-top rhetoric in this post is by the homicidal maniac Podohertz.
Israel likes to say it is our only friend in the ME. Funny, but i can remember that before Israel came into existence, the US had no enemies in the Middle East.
