Quote Of The Day (Part Deux)

“In at least 3 respects, the lessons from Sharansky and Reagan might be relevant here.”

Andrew Sullivan’s Got Some ‘Splainin’ To Do

Accusations of anti-Semitism are serious things, so I am not going to make them. But after reading this piece by Leon Wieseltier on Andrew Sullivan, I have some questions which I would love to see the Inspector Javert of Trig Palin’s matrilineal line answer.

Iran’s Descent Into The Twilight Zone

Apparently, the Green movement so threatens the Iranian regime, that the national colors have become red, white, and blue. The Green movement has therefore succeeded where six successive American Administrations have failed; it has driven Iran into the arms of the United States.

Political Prisoners Speak Out Against The Iranian Regime

Their indictment of the government is devastating:

Who Saw THIS Coming?

Apparently, Andrew Sullivan had to be told to ease up on the Bush-is-a-crazy warmonger meme by . . . Mother Jones.

Just like China did for North Korea.

As I have discussed in the past, I don’t believe that China is the rising hegemon that many people think it to be.

It May Get Bloodier In Iran

My worst fears appear set to be realized:

Sigh (Iran Edition)

This is all so unbelievably depressing:

A Fear Of Bank Runs In Iran?

Credit where it is due: When he is not busy being obsessed with the nature of Trig Palin’s matrilineal line, Andrew Sullivan can pen an interesting blog post.

The Obama Administration May Still Not Be Saying Much About Iran . . .

But it is nice to see that others are speaking out:
