AND YOU THOUGHT HE WAS CONFLICTED AFTER YOU FINISHED PRIMARY COLORS?:
Joe Klein on Neoconservatives and Iran (Jeffrey Goldberg, 29 Jul 2008, Atlantic)
Has profanity ever sounded more like a desperate need to seem macho? And don't we have a pretty standard name for people whose hatred is directed at Jews?
But before that, Iran was calling the US "the Great Satan" and Israel "the Little Satan" and calling for the destruction of both. Iran started the verbal aggression.
Does Klein also think the Palestinians who attacked Israel repeatedly for decades are now the victims of aggression?

It is interesting to note how hostile the Left is towards Israel. When the two-front war against Hamas and Hezbollah comes, probably 3/4 of the Democrats will openly call for an Israeli defeat (all in the name of peace, of course).

So the Iranians state they are going to manufacture nuclear weapons.
Israel says, "We'll bomb you before we let that happen."
Then Klein states that Iran is justified in their desire for nuclear weapons due to the threats from Israel.
Joe Klein is more than just conflicted.
