Wait a minute - Bush is Right on Iran

We're reality-based, aren't we?  Are we able to see that something is true, even though Mr. 24% says it?  Even if Madame 11% (presumably, or even maybe) opposes it?

Every single thing the Bush maladministration lied about vis-a-vis Iraq and 9/11 is true with respect to Iran.  

In fact, on 9/12/01, I would have supported a war against Iran, just like I still support the war in Afghanistan (even though the conduct of that war has been an unmitigated clusterfuck).

Here's what GWB says:

"We've got a leader in Iran who has announced that he wants to destroy Israel," he said. "So I've told people that, if you're interested in avoiding World War III, it seems like you ought to be interested in preventing them from having the knowledge necessary to make a nuclear weapon."

I support that. I support every single bit of that.  I hate George W. Bush.  The Republican Party is repugnant to me.  But Iran -- those who worship Khomenei and live under Sharia law -- do not get a nuclear weapon.  Why?  Because Khomenei's heirs cannot be trusted.  It's just that simple.

NO.

Invading Iraq post-9/11?  No, it's insanity.  But, invading Iran?  Saudi Arabia?  The Bekaa Valley in Lebanon?  Certain quarters of Jordan?  Yes.  Absolutely yes.

If that makes me a bad liberal on these pages, I can live with that.  But I'd bet FDR would beg to differ.  I'd no sooner be a slave under Ayatollah Khomenei than I would be under Pat Robertson.
