I heard an interview with Norman Podhoretz, long-time neocon (and Rudy Giuliani's "foreign policy" advisor, be afraid, be very very afraid!) Norm was in on the Project for the New American Century, in the late 70s and the 80s, he was advocating an attack on the Soviet Union and was one of the loudest cheerleaders for the Iraq debacle. Now, he says it would be "unconscionable" NOT to bomb Iran.
What was remarkable was when the interviewer asked him about being wrong on attacking the USSR and on Iraq, and why should we believe him now, Norm calmly stated that he had been right all along. We wouldn't be in the mess we're in if we'd nuked the Russians, and Iraq is a glorious triumph.
This was a mental illness stew, sociopathy, delusions, paranoia, you name it, he had it.

Thanks for the info. As with Bush, it's critical to know who will be in the room with anyone we elect.
If the democrats don't make a point of this even before the rethug nominee is chosen, they've made a mistake. It's important for the people to understand the kind of creeps who lurk in the background of that party and obviously have some credibility there.
