A LITTLE SANITY ON IRAN

James Fallows in The Atlantic has a nice reply to the rightwing rabble rousers:
- And is the Iran of 2015 like the Germany of 1938? Oh, please. In 1938, Germany had the strongest military in the world, and the second-largest economy (behind only the United States). Its economy was bigger than France's and England's combined. Today's Iran, by contrast, doesn't even have the strongest military in its region, and its economy is not in the world's top 25. Hitler's Germany was an expansionist force that would grow until it was crushed. Iran makes enormous trouble for the U.S. and others, but no one serious can be proposing that it must be crushed.

The Democrats are seriously in fear of those who are seriously in favor of destroying Iran.

It's a shame they can't put America first...

Good panorama on MTP showing Hillary boasting about killing Khadaffi then a political maven asserting Obama turned Libya into a jihad permeated nation as surely as Bush turned Iraq into the same.
So how could anyone consider voting for Hillary?
