It's interesting how the extremist right and extremist left converge on isolationism and appeasement. The extreme left and right have more in common with each other they do with moderates of their own party.

They should join together and form a third party with old fashioned isolationism as its theme. Let's see.... how about "The Rest of the World Can Go To H..." party.
I am now taking donations for that party. I think he is on to something.

Pat Buchanan is one of the old-school GOP types that I like. He knows when to keep his mouth shut, as in the current instance. When the people of Iran want to be rid of their crummy leaders, they'll manage a way to do it. Tomorrow is supposed to be a general strike in Iran, let's see how that goes.

Obama knows he has no troops he can use in Iran, so he doesn't write checks with his mouth that our Army cannot cash. Thanks to Bush/Cheney/Rove/Rummy, we're stuck in Iraq for a while longer with an Army that is tired and needs 2 years off to rest and repair.
