  @ Pincus

  Mr. Pincus states that, while Japan attacked us directly, Germany did not, and thus, we must infer to be his point, if we had believed then as Glenn and other "self-hating liberals" (sic) believe now, we would never have joined the Axis powers and Germany would have prevailed in its march to conquer Europe.

  Mr. Pincus fails to note that on December 11, 1941, four days after Japan bombed Pearl Harbor, Germany declared war against the United States.

  This rather changes the picture, doesn't it? If Iran were involved in an ongoing, broad-based military invasion of its neighbors with the intent of conquering the Middle East, and if it declared war against the United States, there would be a more compelling rationale for us to engage them militarily. Their actions and official declaration against us--as with Germany in 1941--would offer undeniable justification for our violent response.

  However, Iran is NOT trying to conquer the Middle East, and it has not declared war against the United States, and it has asked for resumption of diplomatic engagement. We have NO justification, compelling or even faint, to attack Iran or to even discuss military action against them.

  We are a rogue nation now, our administration one of war criminals and mass murderers, and those who support and applaud our ongoing war crimes and who encourage our entering into new war crimes must be seen as traitors to America.
