Wishful Thinking, Indeed

Wishful thinking still dominates global 'leadership.'"

So claims Michael Ledeen in his latest National Review column.

Coming from someone who believes (or claims to believe) that we can create a pro-American Iran simply by appealing to the innate pro-Americanness of the Iranians and that doing so will in no way lead to a ground war, accusing other people of "wishful thinking" is rather rich.

Steve Sailer has more on how the neocon view of the power structure in Iran always seems to assume that whichever branch is the most extreme (and therefore, the one who makes the best bogeyman for stirring up the old war fever) is the one that is really in charge.

That is all.
