Clearly, language threatening to wipe a nation or a group of people off the map is to be condemned by all civilized people.

As an objectivist, this would be correct ONLY if Iran wasn't threatening us FIRST. Initiatory force is not ok, but retaliatory force is damn near MANDATORY. The good Doctor appears to be saying We are the initiators despite all evidence to the contrary.

This is why I support Duncan Hunter even though I do support much of the rest of Dr. Paul's positions on Domestic and Constitutional issues.

I wish Hunter would display better political skills, on paper he'd be my choice.
