		<description>The President of the USA seems to me to be a little too interested in being a &quot;world leader&quot; as I see it.  Does he put the best interests of America first?  He is our Commander in Chief.  He is on yours and my payroll.  He is our Executive Branch.  His JOB is to ensure our continued sovereignty by doing everything he can to encourage and engender economic, political, and military independence.  There is no provision in the Constitution which provides the power to the President or to Congress, to alter the political life of other countries.  There is nothing that says they should lift up other cultures, bolster foreign economies, feed or defend others from their enemies.  I understand that the global culture and need to care about other people.  But at the end of the day our governments sole JOB is to protect and defend OUR people.  Yes agreements can be made for trade and commerce, but the role of government in this is to provide the best for our people.  The USA is a nation steeped in immigration (legal and otherwise) and so I am not proposing isolationism, but more a desire to clean the inner vessel before the outer vessel.  It seems nothing short of suicide to surrender any independence afforded and paid for by our fathers blood, just to chain ourselves to nations in the world in which we live.</description>

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

&lt;em&gt;Why dont you stick it up YERS ya moron. Was that letter perhaps signed by all 66 MILLION Iranians? Or perhaps it was written by a group with an agenda?&lt;/em&gt;
 
Oh yeah...THIS group certainly doesn&#039;t have an agenda. 
What the hell do you know about Iran besides what Homodinejad tells ya? 
No matter. It still doesn&#039;t take away the fact that this &quot;Holiday&quot; is seen as unislamic by the Mullahs. But don&#039;t let facts get in the way of your illogic. Mmmm&#039;kay?

&lt;em&gt;My GOD you are stupid if ALL Iranians felt oppressed they would overthrow their regime like they did in 79 when they got rid of the Shah. &lt;/em&gt;

You mean like maybe the dissidents in prison? or maybe the ones that are dead? or maybe the homosexuals they hung? Or maybe someone the Republican Guard doesn&#039;t have their eyes on?
And I&#039;M stupid?
You, OTOH, are so damned smart you probably think attacking the truth is loyal to THE ONE, who wouldn&#039;t know a truth if it slapped him upside his head. Shine on, sucker.

&lt;em&gt;Your stupidity does NOT define reality. If Jesus himself addressed America you could find a group that would call him a hippy and a Communist and attack what he said.&lt;/em&gt;

And YOUR reality wouldn&#039;t recognize Jesus if HE slapped YOU upside the head. 

&lt;em&gt;Why dont you use your time more constructively and attempt to find a couple of functioning braincells somewhere.&lt;/em&gt;

You might be right about that one. There sure ain&#039;t that many &#039;round here. LOL</description>

		<description>In their own words:

“The Palestinians are like crocodiles, the more you give them meat, they want more”…. Ehud Barak, Prime Minister of Israel at the time - August 28, 2000. Reported in the Jerusalem Post August 30, 2000

“[The Palestinians are] beasts walking on two legs.” Menahim Begin, speech to the Knesset, quoted in Amnon Kapeliouk, “Begin and the Beasts”. New Statesman, 25 June 1982.

“The Palestinians” would be crushed like grasshoppers … heads smashed against the boulders and walls.” Isreali Prime Minister (at the time) in a speech to Jewish settlers New York Times April 1, 1988

“When we have settled the land, all the Arabs will be able to do about it will be to scurry around like drugged cockroaches in a bottle.” Raphael Eitan, Chief of Staff of the Israeli Defence Forces, New York Times, 14 April 1983.

“We have to kill all the Palestinians unless they are resigned to live here as slaves.” Chairman Heilbrun of the Committee for the Re-election of General Shlomo Lahat, the mayor of Tel Aviv, October 1983.

“One million Arabs are not worth a Jewish fingernail.” — Rabbi Yaacov Perrin, Feb. 27, 1994 [Source: N.Y. Times, Feb. 28, 1994, p. 1]

AND LESS THAN ONE MONTH AFTER 9/11 - THIS:

“Every time we do something you tell me America will do this and will do that . . . I want to tell you something very clear: Don’t worry about American pressure on Israel. We, the Jewish people, control America, and the Americans know it.” - Israeli Prime Minister, Ariel Sharon, October 3, 2001, to Shimon Peres, as reported on Kol Yisrael radio.</description>

		<description>Peres should just watch and keep his mouth closed. He has enough to do watching Iran without interfering in it&#039;s business.  

Of course Israel does not want us to make overtures to their worst enemy. They think it is their interest to keep us from having any but the most poisonous relationship with Iran. 
It&#039;s like the enemy of my enemy is my friend. And they want us tied to them permanently without making progress in the middle east. We cannot do that. Not anymore. The world gets smaller all the time in terms of the danger of nuclear weapons. We need a dialogue with everyone. Even the ones we don&#039;t like. Especially those. The old saw. Hold your friends close and your enemies closer.

We will always be tied with Israel. But it should not be at the expense of going along with everything they do. Sometimes they are profoundly wrong. Things are difficult enough without comments from Israel making them worse. Deliberately.</description>

What state is attempting to point out is that the Neocons that got us to this threshold are still walking among us. Their street cred speaks volumes for itself. Why are they even being given a place at the table?

Max, didn&#039;t you know that stateofthedivision, one of the most liberal of TP posters, is now a troll because he dares to keep pointing out where Obama deviates from the prog line and when his appointees are part of the establishment?  You have now mentioned your disappointment with neocons &quot;being given a place at the table.&quot;  That was your one chance; now keep quiet about it or you&#039;ll join state in the troll category.  And don&#039;t you dare suggest that this is the way Republicans act.  You are dangerously close to getting out of line and it won&#039;t be tolerated.  ;)</description>

		<description>Why dont you stick it up YERS ya moron. Was that letter perhaps signed by all 66 MILLION Iranians? Or perhaps it was written by a group with an agenda? My GOD you are stupid if ALL Iranians felt oppressed they would overthrow their regime like they did in 79 when they got rid of the Shah. Your stupidity does NOT define reality. If Jesus himself addressed America you could find a group that would call him a hippy and a Communist and attack what he said. Why dont you use your time more constructively and attempt to find a couple of functioning braincells somewhere.</description>

		<description>Maybe you should know what the Iranians thought of it...hmmm???

&quot;In the wake of President Obama&#039;s New Year&#039;s greetings to the repressive Iranian regime, Iranian advocates of democracy sent an open letter to Obama which presents the reasons why Obama hurt the cause of liberty and the interest of the United States by delivering the message that he did.&quot;

&quot;The letter begins by telling Obama that the holiday he refers to is one that the Iranian regime has tried to eradicate: &quot;you should have been informed that the Islamic regime has stated that Norooz must be replaced by an Islamic holyday. The only reason this agenda is not fulfilled is because of the great resistance of the Iranian people.&quot;

&quot;The letter goes on to state that Obama does not care about human rights violations that are being committed by a &quot;barbaric regime.&quot;

&quot;In fact, these Iranians praise Israel&#039;s President Shimon Peres who sent greetings to the Iranian people and not to their oppressors. The letter says, &quot;Mr. President I would like to suggest that you read the Norooz greeting of President Shimon Peres to the Iranian people. Such message brings us hope in dark times like this and reassures that our struggle is not left unnoticed. As history is our witness Iranians will topple this regime to establish a secular democracy.&quot;</description>

		<description>Wayne A. Schneider said &lt;em&gt;&quot;It is you who used the term “Obama’s neocon”.&quot;&lt;/em&gt;

I provided a link from the Project for the New American Century, neocon central.  That&#039;s it.  

I didn&#039;t mean it to be syrup of ipecac for Fred.  He can puke up a thread like nobody else.</description>

		<description>Fred,
What state is attempting to point out is that the Neocons that got us to this threshold are still walking among us. Their street cred speaks volumes for itself. Why are they even being given a place at the table?</description>

Slow day Zooey and half hearted attempt by the trolls.  I can grill rib eyes and do this at the same time.  

Got to pick up my guitar and join the fun soon though.</description>

		<description>Dennis Ross Obama&#039;s neocon.  I assume signing a Project for the New American Century letter qualifies.

Here&#039;s his company on that piece:

Ronald Asmus       Max Boot       Frank Carlucci     Eliot Cohen       

Ivo H. Daalder       Thomas Donnelly       Peter Galbraith       Jeffrey Gedmin       

Robert S. Gelbard       Reuel Marc Gerecht       Charles Hill       Martin S. Indyk       

Bruce P. Jackson       Robert Kagan      Craig Kennedy       William Kristol       

Tod Lindberg       Will Marshall      Joshua Muravchik       Danielle Pletka
