"Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) has already demonstrated the problem for Democrats: She sounded like Rep. Ron Paul (R-Tex.) in making the case that government is too untrustworthy to let one party control the House, Senate, and White House. She does not really believe that, and voters know it."

But that doesn't matter. In a deliberately adversarial system, it is the pursuit of total victory by each side that keeps the game honest, not their modesty and good faith. The public is perfectly capable of realizing what it means to "vote against."

Native, my sentiments exactly.

So Bush was really planning to take out Iran all along? Hmmm. Snake oil, anyone?

Bush has demonstrated stupidity, but I don't believe even he is that stupid.

Then again....

The nuking Iran link is scary. But I for one also find a nuclear Iran scary.

The snake oil in that link is the implication that Iran has no particular ill intentions towards the US and only wants to defend itself from Isreal. That isn't even semi-believable.

Genuine objectivity is so hard to find.
