Post.

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.

It'll be a bloodless war! Just like Iraq is, right?

1/29/2006 12:14:26 PM

if we did it my way it would be bloodless on the american side.

Luckily for you, nobody gives a shit about brown people.

1/29/2006 12:18:02 PM

pretty much

1/29/2006 12:19:21 PM

luckily for him?

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.

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...

no, it doesn't mean the militaries in the world are better than ours.

1/29/2006 1:01:04 PM

so Iran has a "serious" and "advanced" military? compared to what, Ethiopians with spears?

Why do we care about building democracy? How about focusing on improving ours right here at home?

my main question is: will we be greeted as liberators?
