[Calif Conservative]

Proof that Paul Craig Roberts hates America at least as much as Rep. John Murtha, with a dash of Jew-hatred in the mix.

[MarkeyD]

NewsMax jumping the shark...Again.

[WhistlingPastTheGraveyard]

If Newsmax wasn't already dead to me, it certainly is now.

[1rudeboy]

PCR ping.

[Northern Yankee]

Who is this guy, and why is he so stupid?

[postaldave]

you put murtha against a wall and i'll bet he is a jew hater too.

[kenavi]

Perhaps after seeing this, other "gentle readers" will stop posting his sludge against free trade.

[shempy]

Paul Craig Roberts has some sort of mental illness that is getting progressively worse. I am serious, the guy needs help.

News Max
~or~

TamPax?

[wingsof liberty]

You forgot the BARF ALERT

[tet68]

WELL! Paul Craig certainly has ISSUES!

Amazing, George Bush is responsible for untold Iraqi deaths
but AMERICA is responsible for Serbian deaths, not Bill Clinton...

A pathetic excuse for a man, but his initals ARE PC.

[MarineBrat]

...they are in fact murders. Otherwise, there would be no criminal investigations...

Mr. Spock he ain't!

[pissant]

Proof that NewsMax is nuts for carrying such an idiot

[tet68]

Iran, a small religious country where the family is intact and the government is constrained by religious authority

Yet woe be tide America if state and religion are even
mentioned in the same breath.

Liberals would be fun to torment if they weren't so dangerous.

[Pokey78]

PCR needs one of these:

[Mr. Jeeves]

Roberts has finally flipped his lid, but there is some truth in this statement:

Americans think that they are the salt of the earth. The hubris that comes from this self-righteous belief makes Americans blind to the evil of their leaders.

It's not that our leaders are evil, nor that we are. It's just that any attempt to help people who don't want our help is ultimately doomed to failure. We can't assume that "of course, they want the freedoms we have" and then try to give them those freedoms at gunpoint. Oppressed peoples have to see our example and achieve it themselves if they want it...with our help if they ask. But even if, say, a couple million educated Iranians would love having the 101st Airborne drop into their backyards tomorrow, the tens of millions of backward peasants that strongly support the Mullahs make such a well-intentioned action foolish at best.

None of this means we can't play defense on the opponent's turf - including using ground forces where needed. It's just that we need to remember a lesson we seem to have forgotten after 9/11: that nation-building tends to be a very bad idea.

[ZULU]

Who the hell is this moron?

[SE Mom]

Why?

[Fledermaus]

In the past three years, the Bush regime has murdered tens of thousands of Iraqi civilians and an unknown number of Afghan ones.

Name them Roberts. Prove it. And if the number in Afghanistan is "unknown" then how do you know?

And murdered? I guess FDR "murdered" untold thousands of civilians in the bombing raids over Germany. Idiot.

[Minutemen]

Paul Craig Roberts: move to Iraq an wear a burka, you wus commie TU*D!

[RichInOC]

Bush damns the "axis of evil." But who has the "axis of evil" attacked? Iran has attacked no one.

Aside from whatever off-the-books mayhem they've been wreaking, there's that little matter about seizing our embassy and kidnapping our personnel.

North Korea has attacked no country for more than a half-century.

They send sappers to try to tunnel under the DMZ every now and then, but let's not quibble.

Iraq attacked Kuwait a decade and a half ago, apparently after securing permission from the U.S. ambassador.

I've often wondered if April Glaspie is still alive and available to the State Department, just so we could send her over to tell Ehud Olmert that the US would consider a massive IDF nuclear attack on Iran an internal Israeli matter.
