- notque, on 10/27/2007, -1/+8Is the United States going to invade Iran? That could be an utter monstrosity. Every viable presidential candidate - not Dennis Kucinich, but the ones that are really viable, has come out and said yeah, we have the right to invade Iran. The way they say it is, "all options are on the table", meaning, "we want to attack them, we can attack them." That's almost the entire political spectrum, but what does the population think? Well, about 75% of the population is opposed to any threats against Iran and wants to enter into diplomatic relations with them. But that's off the spectrum, in fact, it isn't even reported. But it's not part of the discussion.
It's the same way with Cuba. Every since polls began in the 1970s, a considerable amount of the population wants to enter into normal diplomatic relations with Cuba and end the economic strangulation and the terror, which they don't know about, but they would be against that too. It's not an option, because state interests won't allow it. And that's separate from the population, and it's not discussed. Do a search of media and journals, including left journals and you just don't find it. Well, it's a very free country but also very much business controlled. - EntropyMan, on 10/27/2007, -0/+6Rudy Giuliani: Mr. WWIII
- cptkevin, on 10/27/2007, -0/+4This is utter madness and Norman Podhoretz cannot die fast enough. This guy was a direct contributor to the nightmare we are in in Iraq (Through Rummy and Wolfowitz) and now is having private meetings with the Nut in the White House encouraging him to bomb Iran? Read this article, it is crazy! He says this will take "5 minutes". You just wake up one morning and fire the missiles.
Another example where Giuliani is a nutball for listening to this guy. - notque, on 10/27/2007, -1/+5Yes. All political candidates except Kucinich and Gravel are right wing to extremely right wing.
- FarhadA, on 10/27/2007, -0/+3Does anyone even care to ask what is the plan for the US the day after they bomb Iran? What if Iran retaliates by sending 100s of scuds over US installations and kills 100s if not 1000s of Americans? what if they attack all the ships in the Persian Gulf and stop the oil flow out of the region? What if they attack US ships in the Persian Gulf and sink some of them? And what gives the US the right to dictate what other countries should do or not do? If Iran is attacked by the US, then any attack to any US factory anywhere in the world will be justified and every American anywhere in the world could be a target for people who want to stop US aggression. What will be the end of this madness? total destruction of our planet? Millions people dead and displaced? For what? So Mr. Guiliani and his advisors will tell us in a few years after that they were WRONG, DEAD WRONG? Just like they were about Iraq in 2002-2003?

I guess if the political spectrum only runs from right wing to extremely right wing. - FarhadA, on 10/27/2007, -0/+2Yeah, Hillary and Obama are such nice people willing to stick their head up and fight for peace? Sure!
- lastgleaming, on 10/28/2007, -0/+0This tells ME that we can forget Guiliani if he is the nominee because we will get Bush redux. Of course on many things we will get that if Hillary is elected. THE ONLY alternative is a third party candidate who doesn't have neocons on their staff or listens to them and their 'cakewalk wars." These chicken hawks who never served ONE day i the military have a really easy time sending other mother's sons into harm's way. They indicate THEIR ignorance by suggesting a war can be won with a BOMBING. No war in history has been totally won by bombing - Nagasaki and Hiroshima were the icing on the already won war in the Pacific. Bombing can make people angry and solidify their hatred for those doing the bombing. If the dimwits of both parties go along with this - count on a wdier war in the middle east and gas prices no one who isn't a billionaire can afford for long. PLUS, every war we have ever fought in means the further degradation of society and a growing erosion of freedoms - individual and for states. I am appalled that anyone would listen to Podhurtz --- but than nothing the establishment republicrats of the corpogovernment surprises me any more.
- hiwaycruzer1, on 10/28/2007, -0/+0Podhoretz is a ***** zionist jew. His loyalty, like all other neo-cons, is to Israel, not America. This scumbag doesn't give a damn about the repercussions and suffering the U.S. and her citizens would surely face in the aftermath of a nuclear attack on Iran.
