The same people who are bloviating about how a diplomatic solution to Iran\u2019s nuclear weapons program is BAD are the same morons who told the American people that the United States could conquer the Middle East in a matter of weeks by invading Iraq.<\/p>\n
And who said that China would never join the war to fight for North Korea.
\nAnd that the Cubans were going to rise up and join the invaders.
\nAnd that North Vietnam was under supplied and on the verge of collapsing.
\nAnd that the people of Iran loved the Shah.
\nAnd that we need to eliminate any remotely possible threat of a communist takeover in central America, because the Soviet Union is stronger than ever.
\nAnd that the Muslim Jihadists were easily manipulable country-folk who hate the godless Soviets but appreciated the Christian Americans and would be easy to tame if we could get the U.S.S.R. out of the Islamic world.
\nAnd that Bush the First didn’t “finish the job”.
\nAnd that Clinton is being criminally negligent by cutting military spending in the face of the growing threat of anti-American sentiment in the third world.
\nAnd that the only way to “prevent another 9\/11” is overthrowing unfriendly governments in the Muslim world, which shouldn’t take long, because, as we say, Muslims are unsophisticated simpletons (even more so than the Vietnamese were supposed to be), who will be easy to steamroll.<\/p>\n
These people say lots of things. And haven’t been right yet.<\/p>\n
