Iran, Bombs, and Change

Post by Yejun » June 16th, 2009, 5:11 pm

Matt Yglesias, in a recent post about the administration's "debate" over whether to bomb Iran, wisely included a random photograph of an Iranian street with civilians walking on it. These are the people Norm Podhoretz and his comrades want to slaughter:

Our ability to render invisible the people we kill when cheering on our wars is one of the primary mechanisms which make it so easy to embrace that option.

--Glenn Greenwald

By looking into Iran now, what will the neocons say if this doesn't pan out?

Bomb Iran -- with love!

Not long ago, Republicans were talking about attacking Iran. Now they think Obama doesn't love Iran enough

Yejun, not sure I understand. If what doesn't pan out?

And besides, who really cares what the neo-CONS have to say at this point? Or the friggin' right wing in general for that matter. They've rendered themselves pretty much a joke, and really should all just stagger into the tank and "sleep it off"-- and don't come out until they're somehow relevant.

Iranians know howta partay!

We should surrender to them.
