I agree, and have said the same thing on CUANAS many times. <BR/><BR/>I don't understand why people are not called out on the racism inherent in believing that brown-skinned Arabs, and Pashtuns, etc, are not capable of establishing Democracies for themselves.<BR/><BR/>And, it is doubly hard to understand such a perspective when we have the evidence that an even more alien (to the West) culture - that of Japan - was turned from an Emperor-worshipping Shinto-Jihad government into a thriving Democracy.<BR/><BR/>Good post.<BR/><BR/>I put Belgravia Dispatch on my blogroll at one point, because it was on the blogroll of so many whom I respect. But, it didn't take long for me to burn out on that guy and his realpolitik-appeasment-dhimmified arrogance.Pastoriushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03169561459129778670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8475986.post-1133648055373083162005-12-03T17:14:00.000-05:002005-12-03T17:14:00.000-05:00the marginality argument doesn;t hold water: to ge...the marginality argument doesn;t hold water: to get to Iran we need to isolate them. we have them surrounded, now.<BR/><BR/>once we take syria out, then except fopr russia and north korea, they are all alone - militarily speaking.<BR/><BR/>then we can zero in.<BR/><BR/>most often in warfare, you do NOT take on the major enemy head-on at frst.<BR/><BR/>we did not invade japan or germany until THE ENDGAME; infact THAT IS THE EFFIN ENDGAME.<BR/><BR/>before the endgame is played, one must set up the board.<BR/><BR/>afghanistan and iraqw were setups. syria is another CRITICAL part of the setup. them noko.<BR/><BR/>then WHAM!<BR/><BR/>what i am arguing here in this post is that chaos is preeable to a nuclear iran.<BR/><BR/>and that chaos in the region can be our friend.<BR/><BR/>israel CAN NOW handle the added chaos.<BR/>iraqw will soon be able to, too.<BR/><BR/>THEN WHAM!

We, the US, have not been overly successful in that regard so let us leave it to those who have a higher stake in the process (Israel, Iraq, Saudi Arabia among others) and spend our "capital" in other more critical areas such as China, North Korea and energy self sufficency.Flame Throwerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15609530610163876782noreply@blogger.com
