Everything you say is true. But these people want you to call them crazy. That is how they can turn the conversation from why and how a war will benefit or hurt us to irrelevant topics like how the Iranians/Al-queida/Sunnis/Shia/goddless commie bastards all want to kill us and always have (at least since 1979).

I suggest instead of attacking their false assessments and premises as foolish, pressure them to explain exactly how we can achieve the stated goal of regime change (assuming it is "necessary"). Should we nuke em? Or just carpet bomb them? Assassins? What is the plan, Stan? While all of these methods may succeed in removing the current leadership, the obvious question then becomes, as Dick Cheney so logically laid out, what comes next? How do they plan on installing a more suitable regime.

Another point. If we intend to bomb Iran, what would we expect the Iranians to do in response? They can't reach the US with their missiles we sold them. But they can reach our troops in Iraq. If you were the leader of Iran, what would you do in response to a US attack? How are we going to protect our troops?

I believe that as these "experts" are forced to flesh out their plans, the total lunacy of them is brought to light. Right from the horse's mouth. Instead of pulling back on the reins, give all the rope they want. I'm betting they will hang themselves.

Of course, this requires interviewers to want to help stop this craziness. This requires us crazy liberals to get a backbone and a brain and control the conversation.

To "change the word of the living God" is much easier than to change than the Constitution. Christian ministers of all sorts have been doing willy-nilly for 2000 years. Amending the Constitution requires a lot more effort.
