More stuff to give the Neocons a sad.

If the far right or AIPAC or SAIC doesn't figure out a way to wreck the economy this summer, they're going to have their worst nightmare.




Peace.

When can we declare victory on the War on Poverty?? 50 years and still counting and people are still dying!

All kidding aside, there needs to be a reasoned debate on WoP and its effectiveness on not.

It made about as much sense as the War on Terror. You can't declare war on a symptom. We are having a reasoned debate on the root causes, now. That's what the billionaires call "class warfare." :)

Re: Global War on Terror III: Dick Cheney's Hague ICC Vacation

You have to suspect that Ahmadinejad's grip is really slipping, right? So why be so provocative with all the nuclear threats and whatnot at such a fragile moment? Doesn't that just hasten his own end, or does he want us to take out "his" citizens along with him? Or drum up support for the regime? or what?
Anyway, looks like it'll soon be somewhat of another war for our guys to stay in practice shooting people for awhile. I guess it's gotta be someplace, and people were getting tired of Iraq.

I'm guessing we stay out of it unless we are unavoidably drawn in. Maybe not though.

The Israelis are going to bomb him. Then we have to decide if we want to get involved or not. I say let them handle it. We can't afford to keep getting into wars.
 
Re: Global War on Terror III: Dick Cheney's Hague ICC Vacation

There's no winning a ground war in Iran. The solution (or more probably attempts at one) will come from elsewhere.

Agreed. My guess is it will be approached the same way it was when the Israelis bombed Iraq.

Israel should do what they think is in their national interest. So should we. So, for that matter, should Iran. In this situation, Israel and Iran have domestic political forces driving them towards a war. That's not our problem. Our alliance with Israel should be defensive. For that matter, all of our alliances should be defensive. If one of our allies attacks another country and starts a war, we have no national interest in getting involved, and every interest in staying out.

If Iran launched a war against Israel that would be different. Then we should honor our commitment for mutual defense.

"War On Terror"

Another black hole that the baby boomers can throw money into.

It doesn't make it any less irritating or crazy from our point of view, but this is all nothing new. Every time a Middle Eastern potentate has ethnic or sectarian unrest, he picks a neighbor and saber rattles. Israel is the greatest gift to authoritarian regimes because it's evergreen, and because the Israelis themselves are about as diplomatic as Ulf Samuelsson.

The Gen Xers were idiots about that, too.

Every generation are idiots in their own way. The "Greatest Generation" poisoned our rivers and air and cheered on the stupidity of Vietnam. Nobody's perfect.

The best idea I've seen is to negotiate directly with the leaders of the Revolutionary Guard. They have quite a good deal going for themselves, with all the business interests they own. "We'll spare your property from damage if in return you toss aside the person that is endangering the safety of said property with his recklessness."

And then be prepared to drone the heck out of their assets if the message isn't received.
