  • Glenn,

    What do you think about this: http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20070215/pl_nm/iran_usa_dc.

    It seems it is little talked about, at least to me: the fact that Iran made a significant proposal for peace, all to our advantage, that was dropped like a hot potato. Whether or not it was in good faith, dropping it without investigation, seems, well, criminal. And the fact that the implications of this aren't the top blog story, the top news story, the top everything, seems incredible.

    This is way bigger than WMD lies, the British memos, etc, and so on. I can't think of a way to explain this in any way that makes the slightest sense. Before it was at least arguable that the Administration believed, in some twisted way, that they were working in the national interest.

    But here's a smoking gun that they are intentionally provoking war, a war that runs the risk of destabilizing the entire ME, of leading into a global depression, of leading to the deaths of untold numbers of Americans (in addition to Iranians and Arabs across the ME). And no one seems to put it at the top of their radar.

    Why? What the hell is going on?
