Kerwick is a bit too philosophical for me. My problem with the neocons is that they invent facts (curveball, mushroom clouds) and distort history (Britain could have crushed Germany in October 1938…).

I am not talking about ruling out intervention in the future, I am advocating not talking us INTO a military quagmire. Mao babbled about taking hundreds of millions of casualties and aided the Koreans and Vietnamese and Indonesian commies … – and got the Big Bad BOMB – but we did not go to direct War with them. Stalin blockaded Germany and funded revolutions in Greece and Turkey, pulled a coup d’etat with Czechoslovakia, and funded sympathetic communist parties all over the West – but we didn’t go into World War III. But somehow IRAN is supposed to make us take pre-emptive actions with unforseen consequences compared to the Soviet Union and Red China.

Hey maybe Brazil will try to nuke us in 2073 but I don’t favor taking them out as a precaution!

@My Ron-Paul I would agree that air strikes on Libya (or Syria in the future) are two-bit struggles. But, this does not apply to Iran. How can you argue that preventing Iran from starting a nuclear arms race in an area of the world that the industrialized world is heavily dependent on for crude oil is not an imperitive? And, regarding Iran’s current export of terrorism, primarily directed at Isreal, you are disconnected with reality if you think that a nuclear armed Iran won’t someday hand over a nuclear weapon to a terrorist organization with doomsday consequences. The USA made a big mistake on Iraq. But, that doesn’t mean we must rule out any and all military interventions in the future. The civilized world has pressured Iran for many years now, so its not like we haven’t given them plenty of time to reconsider their fallacy.

As awful as Obama has been, I have no regrets about not supporting McMussolini in 2008. That is one of the things with the concept that we have to have a Mitt Romney or some other statist gasbag solely so he can “defeat Obama” (but spend more money on new wars!).

I like the term “axis of error”. The pathetic fact that there is almost no debate on America monkeying in every two-bit struggle overseas shows how degenerate the mainstream has gotten.

Except, Miss Ilana, they seem to actually think they’re being loyal and patriotic in all of this, not treasonous. Someone has said that there is nothing worse than a sincere do-gooder (C.S. Lewis maybe?). They feel all the more that they are mandated to do what they’re doing.
