I've never been a big Matthews fan but he seemed to ask good questions and not throw in a bunch of pointless remarks like:"Well, you have been watching too many old movies"Way to go Snow. We're talking about engaging a 4th country militarily, one which has a significant presence in the region as well as internationally and you make wise cracks about the interviewer being paranoid? Last time I checked war was a serious matter in which people die, including Americans.
And what's up with the claim that most young Iranians are pro-American? That's not the impression I get. You guys destroyed one of the first democracies in the region and left them with the Shah, a man so universally hated in Iran that they eventually revolted.<a class="user" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Ajax">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Ajax</a>Since when have you ever been on their side? Why would they be on yours?

Just don't use the term "extra-constitutional" around Bush, he might think it means "very very constitutional".
