Neocon Dreams, American Nightmares

These people are seriously demented.

Bombing people, in their homeland is not a way to make friends.

Kristol, King of the NeoCons Loons, believes that bombing Iran to smitherins will cause Iranians to hate their government and love the people bombing them.

What the hell is wrong with people who think like this?

I can't help but wonder what all these egg-heads would do, if it was America that was being bombed, so that maybe we would decide we didn't want our current regime (as if most of us haven't already decided that). Would they fight back, anyway they could. Do they even know how to fight?

Neocon Dreams, American Nightmares:

Taking what might be considered the moderate neocon position on the Israel/Hezbollah war, the editors of The New Republic demand that the Bush Administration 'move ruthlessly to prevent Iran from acquiring the deadliest arsenal of all,' while their contributor Michael Oren calls only for an Israeli, rather than an American, attack on Syria. Next door at The Weekly Standard, William Kristol sees no point in playing coy. Having already called for an American attack on Syria twenty months ago, he is now beating his bongo for an immediate 'military strike against Iranian nuclear facilities.' Concerned about retaliation against American citizens in the form of terrorist attacks around the world? Don't worry. Any and all 'repercussions,' he promises, 'would be healthy ones.' Kristol even imagines that such an attack could cause the Iranian people 'to reconsider whether they really want to have this regime in power,' as if the natural reaction of people who see their country attacked, their families killed and their property destroyed is to side with the people who are bombing them (just like in, um... Iraq).
