Paul Wolfowitz phones in a mushroom cloud
Wolfie's back. (sub req)
And it's 2002 all over again, except this time it's all how Iran is the most dangerous threat to humankind.
After rambling for a few hundred words to explain that Iran is definitely going nuclear, will renege on any and every commitment, and that we must put in place more sanctions right away before Israel takes matters into its own hands, we hit pay-dirt. Apparently:
"Iran's Arab neighbours are also deeply worried that nuclear weapons would embolden Iran's support for terrorism, subversion and even conventional military aggression. Americans need to consider that nuclear weapons might embolden Tehran to provide sanctuary to al-Qaeda or other terrorists. Or, more catastrophically, even provide then covertly with nuclear weapons."
It's like after the Iraq WMD debacle, the Neocons are no longer even trying to be convincing. And certainly not original.
That a "Visiting Scholar" at the American Enterprise Institute could imagine -- let alone write -- that Iran might give Al-Qa'ida sanctuary (much less nuclear weapons) shows an ignorance of history even beyond what I thought Wolfowitz capable of.
Simply shocking stupidity.
