Iran's threat is a direct result of the type of meddling we're trying in Iraq. You can't install a 'friendly' government at the point of a gun. Point to Obama; he seems to get it.<BR/><BR/>He gets style points on many other issues. I agree with Brooks.<BR/><BR/>Taibbi's rant also cites <A HREF="http://select.nytimes.com/2006/07/09/opinion/09brooks.html?scp=1&sq=The+Liberal+Inquisition&st=nyt" REL="nofollow"> The Liberal Inquisition</A>. Brooks is pretty close here too. I don't like Lieberman, but it's just because of the war. Taibbi parses 'purge' and 'fundamentalism' as "terms obviously associated with communism and Islamic terrorism". Read the piece; that's not how they're used.<BR/><BR/>I suggest you follow Taibbi's advice when reading his column: "Let's be clear about what we're dealing with here. These people are professional communicators."KAPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15541898442936527367noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4954728584544867895.post-71587231547036882782008-06-21T23:19:00.000+10:002008-06-21T23:19:00.000+10:00I suck at this link think.
