"The Queen Mother of 'out there' statements ... "
Throughout its four-year history, Pat Buchanan's The American Conservative has published a nutbucket's barrel full of "out there" statements regarding world events. An editorial in the current issue (subscription required) features what is perhaps the Queen Mother of TAC out there statements:
"[Iran has] a long history of moderate international behavior."
Moderate international behavior? Iran? Uh, do what?!
As NewsMax.com pointed out several months ago, "Since the 1979 Iranian revolution, Tehran has seized American diplomats, ordered American hostages to be taken in Lebanon, assassinated Iranian opposition leaders at home and abroad, and supported a stealthy terrorist war against the United States, Israel, and other nations."
Iran is the world's foremost state sponsor of terrorism. For anyone to imply that Iran is a "moderate" international player not only displays an enormous amount of naïveté, but a great deal of stupidity as well.
