Like Mohamed ElBaradei, we want to make sure what he calls the “crazies” don’t start a war with Iran. We fear his do-it-yourself diplomacy is playing right into the crazies’ hands — in Washington and Tehran.
Heck, I'm worried about ElBaradei, too. But to speak of "crazies" on our side is revolting.
The Times is bizarrely equating the craziness of a Jew-hating, gay-denying, sponsor of terrorism that kills American military personnel and Iraqis Ahmadinejad who wants nuclear weapons with President Bush who is determined that such a man should not have nuclear weapons!
How is it crazy to want to stop the mullahs? Is living with a nuclear-armed Iran really better than going to war with Iran to stop them? Does the NYT really think that Iran can be deterred?
Did the New York Times even send a reporter to cover Ahmadinejad's bizarre Columbia tirade?
The Times editorial board is just plain nuts.
