Entry: There Are No Neocons in Foxholes Link: http://www.takimag.com/site/article/viet_nam_redux#17 Post contents: <i>Iran is a mortal threat to the US</i> Laughable. People like you desperately *want* a mortal enemy to exist, because it allows you to dominate the political agenda with your military fantasies. And after all who doesn't want to cast themselves in the role of Churchill or Roosevelt, stern and resolute in the face of aggression, covered in glory for all time? But the situation is not the same, and your vision is clouded by your vanity. Personally I wish that historians were less inclined to glorify victorious war leaders (Roosevelt and Churchill both being quite flawed in other ways), since I think that kind of thing plays a key role in seducing people like you into stupid and all-too-predictable mistakes. <i>The worst thing I can about your comments is that they could have been lifted word-for-word from Daily Kos or ANSWER.</i> Ah, it would have been refreshing had you actually tried to argue that these comments were *wrong*, but I see that you've dodged that problem and gone for a smear by association instead.
