Comments on: Too Little, Too Late On Iran?

National Review Online: Putting Revolutionary Guard On Terror List Is Welcome, But Not Enough

[downtowner97]

If an army invades your country, and you do anything but lay down and accept their presence, you are a terrorist. I don''t buy it.

[Razzl]

The American public in its practical wisdom has come to the conclusion that Iran is a weak state that poses no concrete threat to our safety or our interests (at least the legitimate non-imperialist interests) so long as we stay out of their back yard. The public has already concluded that the Iraq invasion was not a legitimate attack on terrorism and that Iran''s espionage there is just the usual small-potato stuff that happens because we are where we aren''t supposed to be. They rightly blame the deaths of our troops not on the Iranians, who are behaving as we expect them to in the circumstances, but on Bush and Cheney who refuse to carry out the public will by withdrawing.

So all the smoke and mirrors offered up by the NRO propagandists is falling on deaf ears as all of the underlying premises behind their anti-Iran campaign have already been rejected. The American public is not going to allow this Bush regime to initiate world war in order to cleanse the demons they imagine so it''s time to move on to concretely working out how to withdraw from Iraq rather than wasting their breath trying to stoke up interest in attacking Iran. NRO would expend its effort better by talking about what kind of operations we should have in Afghanistan after president Obama or Clinton end our operations in Iraq...

===spew the false rhetoric that all "neocons are cowards and don''''''''t fight????? Its'''''''' a contradiction, a generaliztion, and in the majority of cases completely false.===

The fantasy of neocons that they are somehow brave because they want to send other people to fight is laughable. They have convinced themselves that because they support the war in Iraq and invading Iran (for others to fight, now them), that has made them courageous and defenders of freedom while people against the war are cowards and appeasers. Well, it doesn''t take very much bravery to volunteer others to fight your war. Sometimes it takes more courage to not fight than to fight.

Are you telling us that to free people, we must first kill them?

Hmmm - sounds plausible - how about we start with all the hypocritical Christians in the United States?

Are you volunteering to go first?

lol - clearly, you are the "deluded self-interested moron".

By the way - it''s morons like you and your Republicanazi moron of a President that are destroying the United States.

Clearly, you don''t stop at anything in trying to make a dollar - even killing innocent civilians.

Republicanazis support the murder of innocent civilians.

The truth is that we have a stupid president - and we have become a terrorist nation under that idiot.

And if God really told him to invade Iraq, then God must not like us very much.

Captured US weapons from Iraq have begun turning up in Lebanon - in Hezbollah hands.

Iraqi Arms dealers are doing quite nicely - thanks GW Bush - great job - may he rot in hell.

jankebenz,

The idiocy and cavalcade of misinformation from poopaganda rags like the National Review Online and the Weekly Standard appear to be tailor made for you.

Congratulations.
