I forgot to link to this yesterday, but I highly recommend taking a look at Professor Juan Cole beating Christopher Hitchen like a red headed stepchild while simultaneously producing one of the most intelligent anti-war pieces in ages. Wow, a guy who actually understands both the Arabic language and culture actually commenting intelligently on our run up to yet another pointless, wasteful, stupid war with Iran...wasn't there a time when such folks would be called upon to offer their opinions in the mainstream media, and perhaps even on presidential committees of some sort? Those were the good old days...
We are not going to let you have a war against Iran. So sit down and shut up, American Enterprise Institute, and Hudson Institute, and Washington Institute for Near East Policy, and American Heritage Institute, and this institute and that institute, and cable "news", and government "spokesmen", and all the pundit-ferrets you pay millions to make business for the American military-industrial complex and Big Oil. We don't give a rat's ass what Ahmadinejad thinks about European history or what pissant speech the little shit gives.
