Iranian crazies demanding proof of holocaust from Germany, Austria, and Poland

 [Marathon Pundit] After asserting that the United States is recognizing the error it made in Iraq, Soros said, "To what extent it recognizes the mistake will determine its future." He went on to say that Turkey and Japan are still hurt by a reluctance to admit to dark parts of their history, and contrasted that reluctance to Germany's rejection of its Nazi-era past.

Iran’s Nuclear Game

[appletree] Instead of defusing the situation and helping democratize Iran, he’s escalating it and helping the authoritarian regime sustain itself. I’m not sure whether it’s out of a misguided belief that engaging in warfare is more important than defeating an anti-American theocracy or out of a sincere desire to prop up Ahmadinejad, but either way, it’s not helping.

Iran: Behind the caricature

 [Midtopia] It's the reason I buy the Sunday New York Times. It's ability to make me interested in things I didn't know I cared about -- or provide fresh, relevant perspectives on things I already do -- is unparalleled, in my opinion.

Is Bush’s Position on Iran Similar to Iraq?

[ Current World News] Michael O’Hanlon, who is an adviser on the Iraq Study Group, said “He [Bush] again is convinced that he’s on the side of right, fighting against the forces of evil, expressing this somewhat oversimplified view of the world he has.”  President Carter’s security adviser, Zbigniew Brezinski, also stepped saying that if things get worse in Iraq, “the final destination on this downhill track is likely to be a head-on conflict with Iran and with much of the world of Islam at large.”

The scapegoat

 [In Perspective] The latest NIE report has confirmed that 'Iraqi-on-Iraqi' violence is the 'primary' danger to the US and to the frail nation of Iraq itself as it descends into even more civil strife. The report, prepared by the United States government itself ”” why do you think it makes headlines?
