49. I don't see ANYTHING in this article which calls for an
attack on Iran. It does call for somebody to take the situation seriously and exposes the limits of diplospeak when confronted by outright evil. It surely does bring to mind the 1930's, but this time we KNOW what happened and there is no excuse not to take Hitlerian ranting seriously.

I can't believe this wriggling. I don't care if the author of this piece is Pope Alexander Borgia - the facts are the facts.

And, The Sun-Times is a liberal newspaper, from a very liberal city. The viewpoint in this article is NOT radical in the least but in fact it is rational.

I find the absense of outrage at the Holocaust denial and the comments about Israel, outrageous. I find the mockery in this thread, outrageous.

And I find that mockery and that absense of outrage in complete contradiction to democratic, liberal values let alone historical perspective. So I don't want to hear wriggling and worming about the author when he is backed up by the facts.

This speaks to me quite loudly. I get it, thanks. I will remember this next time somebody makes a big fuss about "bias" and "dislike".
