Letter of the week comes from Zev Berkovich, who could be the next great warblogger:
Subject: You guys are crazy (and extremely misinformed)
Hi,
I’m sorry to say, but you guys don’t seem to understand anything about what’s going on in the Middle East.
Are you suggesting that Iran should be allowed to develop nuclear weapons? This is the same country that has used every weapon they have by passing them along to terrorists?
Iran is working on WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION. They are building nuclear bombs, WITH THE INTENTION OF BECOMING THE WORLD POWER.
THE IRANIAN PRESIDENT HAS STATED HIS INTENTIONS OF DESTROYING THE WESTERN WORLD.
THE PROBLEM WITH YOU PEACENIKS IS THAT YOU DON’T THINK ANYONE IS A PROBLEM UNTIL THEY KILL YOU. THEN YOU’RE DEAD AND CAN’T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT.
IRAN IS BEING DEALT WITH BECAUSE THEY ARE A DANGER TO THE WORLD.
THEY WERE THE ORIGINAL NAZIS. AND THEY ARE A BIGGER THREAT THAN HITLER.
WE NEED TO DESTROY THEIR POWER AND TAKE OUT THEIR NUCLEAR WEAPONRY.
THIS WILL ALLOW YOUR OFFICES TO CONTINUE. OTHERWISE, YOU WILL BE DEAD.
This is a guy who knows that when the old rhetoric (Islamofascists) isn’t working, you don’t scale back – you escalate and capitalize (BIGGER THREAT THAN HITLER). It’s kind of confusing how the Iranians could be both the ORIGINAL NAZIS and worse than the Nazis, but I think it’s important to just let the words spill out of you onto the keyboard. He who hesitates is DEAD AND CAN’T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT.
