New roll-out (propaganda campaign) for war with Iran?

Ghandi eh?

Quote:

Gandhi was criticized by some Congress party members and other Indian political groups, both pro-British and anti-British. Some felt that opposing Britain in its life or death struggle was immoral, and others felt that Gandhi wasn't doing enough. Quit India became the most forceful movement in the history of the struggle, with mass arrests and violence on an unprecedented scale.[13] Thousands of freedom fighters were killed or injured by police gunfire, and hundreds of thousands were arrested. Gandhi and his supporters made it clear they would not support the war effort unless India were granted immediate independence.

So he helped Hitler, he caused "violence on an unprecedented scale" and the above means he would have supported the war had he got what he wanted.

He used "non-violence" as a "weapon".

The Iranian Time Bomb

Directions to AEI

Iran has now taken its rightful place at the center of our debate on the war. Hardly a day goes by without new revelations about Iran's penetration of Iraq either by supplying weapons, money, guidance, and intelligence to both Sunni and Shiite terrorists, or, in some cases, sending soldiers from the Quds Force--an elite unit within Iran's Revolutionary Guard--to confront American and Iraqi forces. And in the background we hear the leitmotif of the Iranian nuclear program, which continues apace despite international sanctions and negotiations.

An intensified debate has resulted: Is our current strategy adequate? Should we be more vigorous in confronting the Islamic Republic or should we--as under secretary of state for political affairs R. Nicholas Burns has recently argued--continue to use diplomacy as the primary component of our Iran policy? If we decide to take more active measures, what should they be?

In his latest book, The Iranian Time Bomb: The Mullah Zealots' Quest for Destruction
(St. Martin's Press, September 2007), AEI Freedom Scholar Michael A. Ledeen reviews the history of Iran's long-standing war against the West and discusses American policy toward Iran from the fall of the shah to the present. He analyzes the Iranian regime's treatment of its own citizens, presents a detailed assessment of the mullahs' vision of the future, and proposes an effective strategy for thwarting their global ambitions.

Former CIA director R. James Woolsey and General Jack Keane, U.S. Army (retired), will join Michael A. Ledeen in discussing these and other questions upon which so much of America's future depends.

The guy is telling the truth. Yoy just want to be a nice guy whilst blissfully taking advantage of the spoils of war. And you are free to do that of course. But not to join an intellectual debate about the matter coming from the goody-goody two-shoes side and smearing patriots with cheap jibes and asserted insults.

I don't support anything in that way. It doesn't matter a damn what I think.

Disagreeing with those things Bernie put up is like disagreeing with the clouds or the waves. We would all like them not to be true I suppose and allow the military to become as Phil Silvers portrayed it. I don't think you lefties have a monopoly on such ideas. In fact it is a respectable view that it is you who are holding up progress towards it.

You self evidently haven't bothered reading Dr Greer's analysis of the relations between bourgeoise man and his lady from which grew feminism. Bit of a challege is that.

Why do you lefties always get the cheap smear out when you have nothing else to fall back on?

You really do need to give Spengler a go.
