"The neoconservative infantile fantasy that the war will last only mere days, that evil will be defeated and that democracy will reign supreme and American influence spread happily throughout the Middle East, is a dangerous notion"

This says it all... Zogby needs to be challenged on this in the future.

[Shermy]

Mr. Zogby, meet Mr. Buchanan...

[RightWhale]

UPI: What then is the justification for this war?

They asked Zogby? Why don't they just ask Saddam Hussein or Chirac? Why not just ask the first member of Hamas they meet on the street?

Transparent Shill Alert!

If Zogby loves Saddam so much, maybe he should marry him!!

[thatsnotnice]

I had an aunt that wore a big ring on her right hand. She'd walk into the room and smack my cousin in the back of the head. If she did it just right the ring would raise a knot on his head. He'd rub his head and say "what was that for?"

She'd reply, "Because I know you were thinking of doing something stupid."

And so it should be with Zogby. He should be randomly punched or kicked. Sometimes ten times in a day - sometimes only twice per day. If he asks why, just tell him it's because we know he's thinking something stupid.

"....spontaneous violence and an apocalyptic conflict can resolve our problems and bring about a far better good in the world."

The only germ of truth in the whole piece. It has been so since the dawn of time and the rise of Homo sapiens. Zogby is just out of touch here. Does he seriously think that one can employ diplomacy and reason with the bastards who sponser and carry out terrorist acts? There's only one thing those lunatics understand and that's the massive application of force.

Zogby makes it a point to spew out the word "unilaterally" more than four or five times in this set-up, so-called interview. He seems to be saying, "Boohoo, we didn't allow the UN enough time to do its job." Moron. I used to think the guy was non-biased. His true colors have come out. To hell with his polls.

[Torie]

The guy just keeps saying over and over that the chaps who already hate us and are trying to kill us will hate us and try to kill us even more. He doesn't have much to say about the future of Iraq itself. I suspect Zogby doesn't give a damn about Iraq in and of itself.

The entire problem with this analysis can be seen again and again in opinion pieces arguing against the war. No one in their right mind believes the war will not have negative effects. That's not the question. The question is whether the benefits outweigh the costs. I believe, as I think the mainstream in American believe, that they do.

To understand that cost-benefit comparison, it is necessary to look at the costs of doing nothing. Zogby does not do that, nor does any other anti-war commentator that I've seen. Is the risk of having a city taken out by a nuclear device not worth a lot on the cost-benefit scale?

The costs that he does proffer are entirely speculative. And I'm really sick of hearing how the terrorists are going to come out of the woodwork after the Iraq war. We heard the same nonsense about Afghanistan, and it was proven to be fallacious. Every indication we have is that the Arabs respect strength, and they are reluctant to attack a strong opponent. But they are contempuous of weakness, or even mercy, and that emboldens them to attack. So Zogby has got it exactly backwards.

[Migraine]

"Wogby: We are already seeing a spike in anti-Arab and anti-Muslim prejudice.

Well, he should take some comfort in the fact that we also now hate the French.

And why am I ever surprised when Wogby condemns U.S. Foreign policy?

[KeyWest]

He is not a reader of history. Democracy was imposed on Japan and Germany after they were defeated. To do nothing is a sign of weakness in about every society there is, not just the Arab. He also has little understanding of Christianity. In all, not a very well informed thinker.

[Verginius Rufus]

There are two kinds of people in the world, those who have a Manichaean view of the world and those who don't. Mani was a native of Iraq.

[solo gringo]

Nothing was a mistake under clintons and the democrats.For people that screwed America for everything they could and got a complete pass.Now it is mistake to blow your nose while Bush and the republician are in charge.Her mr zogby kiss this.

[Eaker]

The word "Zogby" has got to mean idiot in some language!!!

Stay safe; stay armed,

[jackbill]

Isn't there some way that we can ship this miscreant to some Arab country?

[dennisw]

Zoggy the shill and propagandist for Muslim Arabs who is actually a Christian Arab. I wonder how much foreign funding Zoggy gets for his organization? http://www.aaiusa.org/

[Gorzaloon]

They warn that this war could very easily -- indeed very probably -- lead to internalized anger and resentment against the United States, regional instability, increased international terrorism, especially against Americans and a greater threat to our traditional allies.

Well, since we already have been putting up with that for many years, then we may as well have the war. Or several. Or to _really_ get them going, let'd call it a "Crusade".

So many advocate killing us all, anyway, what difference could it possibly make? More hate ravings from syphilitic imams? B.F.D.

I could care less if someone builds a pork rendering plant on Mecca Crater, because I have HAD IT with listening to these people who dance with joy over 9-11, and "experts" like Wogby.

[DensaMensa]

Mr. Zogby, meet the Dixie-Chix.
