The article Iran is weak and getting weaker is freely dispensing the above mentioned tranquilizer. I even started to nod off peacefully towards its end. Until this question that its author probably considers rhetoric:
But do we think of North Korea as strong and on the rise because it has a few crude nuclear devices?Sorry, Mr Zakaria, but I have to answer "yes" even though being almost fully asleep.
OK?

I don;t think he is far off the mark on a number of points. I only wish the war beat would lessen from both sides...
I am not a warmonger, just a normal pessimist. I just don't like being told that an A-Bomb is nothing to worry about.
Zakaria is one of the two journalists Obama mentioned as his favourite reading material before going to bed every night. The other is our good friend chubby Tom Friedman. (his chubbiness has nothing to do with anything but I just feel good saying it). The question is, at what point does the avid reader become the motivator for the author to write the kind of things he knows the avid reader wants to hear and thus continue to be his favourite? Is there any question that Obama wishes to lull us to sleep over Iran's nukes, because he has more or less resigned himself to a world with nukey Iran? Isn't his grand strategy about to shift focus from the Middle East to East Asia, anyway?
It is not necessarily so, Noga. Notice that he reads them before going to sleep, so he is using them as soporific...
Have you ever seen a more groveling, obsequious bunch of
weasel words from anybody?

"The Muslim Brotherhood is legitimate, authentic, progressive
alternative. Only faced by the four-month old
liberals, they had to
win," he added."
Thanks, Noga, I shall pass it on. I really cannot abide this creep in large doses.
