t if you say anything that people disagree with on this topic, you will be called anti-Semitic. So I got called anti-Semitic for I think just asking some question online and somebody said, "Whoa, why would you do that? Why would you even question that unless you're anti-Semitic?" To which I say, oh you. Just you. I'm not anti-Semitic. If I have questions about why we're doing what we're doing and how we're doing it, that has nothing to do with any kind of anti-Semitism.

And then there are the people who say that essentially Israel and Iran are sort of morally and ethically similar. Now that's the mode I don't want to get into because once you get into the moral ethical part, you just have to take a side and I don't want to do that. But I would point out that it seems very unlikely if Iran decided to be totally peaceful and not make any threats or any threatening moves toward its neighbors, it seems deeply unlikely that Israel would attack them. Wouldn't you say? But would that be the same if Israel decided to be totally peaceful? Would they be attacked by Iran or Iranian proxies? Well it doesn't look like those are the same to me. To me it looks like Iran has a long-term goal to erase Israel, at least as a country, off the map. I don't see that Israel has any kind of goal like that as far as I know. They would love to probably have some kind of regime change that loved Israel, but what are the odds of that? Pretty low. So any comparison of the two seems out of place to me.

Meanwhile, the National Review, the conservative publication in this country, is attacking what they call skeptics of the Iraq war, and they've got a new updated article calling them unpatriotic conservatives. Oh, that's what they called t
