What's missing in the pics are all those wide-eyed goyhim in helmets–you know, those who had parents who could not afford to send them to college?

I read this about four times. I am still absolutely puzzled about your argument.

And no, I don't think the headline is deceptive and I don't think Commentary is distancing itself from Norman P. As the latter is a rather daring assumption it feels.

I think Podhoretz' is basically an advertisement: McCain for president. Since as he tells us in the end Israel can't do it.

"Whereas the old consensus was based on the proposition that (in Senator John McCain’s pungent formulation) “the only thing worse than bombing Iran was letting Iran get the bomb,” the emerging new consensus held the opposite—that the only thing worse than letting Iran get the bomb was bombing Iran."

The question who isn't 'the next hitler' to the neocons? Sadaam was the next Hitler, now Iran, next Syria…it never ends….the neocon holy grail 'the next hitler'.

Yes, already Nasser was called Hitler, I learned in Avi Shlaim's The Iron Wall. Amazingly well written. I can't stop reading.

Not very crowded here. So I don't have to say sorry for using up all the space, I guess ;-)
