I like that second quote. Kind of overlooks the fact that the reason that actions against Iran are viable is because we can just spend several months bombing them at range and (probably) get away unscathed. 1/29/2006 11:45:20 AM |

Like, any "bloodless" war on our side is gonna mean huge numbers of civilian casualties, so it's a good thing nobody gives a shit about Iranian civilian casualties. 1/29/2006 12:35:07 PM |

oh I wasn't posting Klein's comment for that, I was just highlighting teh L3ft's perpetual belief that every military in the world is vastly superior to our own. And Dionne's remark was solely for its flip-flop nature, nothing unusual I suppose.
Part of why I love watching Stephanopoulos on Sundays... 1/29/2006 12:39:34 PM |

Why do we care about building democracy? How about focusing on improving ours right here at home? 1/29/2006 2:35:38 PM |

this comment is laughable, what group in their right mind would say that? and if i didnt know any better, id say its an attempt to stir up your hated lefties.
ie: a troll
my main question is: will we be greeted as liberators?
