Reply #62: if the U.S. can elect a sane person... [View All]

and have sane people in the pentagon, it would seem to be in Iran's interests to negotiate a new nuclear agreement with the U.S. Obviously we are armed to the teeth...and in fact, I believe we were the nation that first stopped honoring the nuclear test ban treaty. Isn't that the case?

And really, wouldn't Iran be likely to seek a cordial relationship with the U.S. since bin Laden is Sunni? I mean, why wouldn't Iran want the U.S. to do its fighting for them since the def. contractors are the U.S. export economy. (snark)

Thanks so much for your analysis of the situation. Sounds right to me, considering the reportage of Sy Hersh (osp and abu ghraib and Laura Rozen (Franklin, the Italian job) and the exit of so many.

I do hope Bush/Cheney are sidelined for the good of this nation. I'm waiting until 9-17 to see if Cheney is still kicking. That would be so sweet- if he decided to "retire."

The gay blogger guy also has more right wingers he intends to out. With these various events, hopefully the testosterone level of the R. party will plummet so far they
won't even have cojones. As far as winning an election (not governing, imo) this would help get rid of r's in the exec. and legis. branches.

I would like Bugliosi to reopen the impeachment case against Scalia..Thomas and Kennedy too. Rehnquist and O'Connor have retired, but they would be a part of any such action for the history books. Barring that, Scalia has spoken on the record about his theocratic views and has called democracy "the problem" when executing ppl in a democracy. yeesh. Unfortunately, Bush left us with a supreme court that I'm not too confident about, as far as our status as a non-theocratic nation.
