ADL ran a full page add in our local relatively liberal weekly,THE JEWISH JOURNAL, which was a thinly disguised call for the US to attack Iran. These folks should be tarred and feathered and if war with Iran does indeed come perhaps they will be as more goy start to resent being used as cannon fodder for wealthy chickenhawk neo-cons.

Ahmadinejad may be shrewd, but who can understand him? He is constantly pushing the envelope with his rhetoric. He is either very shrewd or very stupid. You can poke a stick at a dog only so often before it bites back. He calculates the dog has no teeth I guess. And of course, he claims to have analyzed the situation, being a "master in calculation". But how do you calculate human emotions? Not everything is done because it makes "sense". The present Iraq war is a good example of that. And history is replete with examples of conflicts started for a whole variety of reasons, from revenge and hate to love. Most of the time its insanity. How do you calculate that?
