Mar 2015

when I heard him talking (in about 2007 or 08) about using diplomacy first. This was in the wake of the disaster we created in Iraq. His JESUS-like attitude of talking with your enemies was what got me interested in him to begin with.*

Don't the stupid rethugs realize the Iranians are going to have their "nuclear infrastructure" either way? With some observations an controls under a deal, or none, with no deal?

I suppose they think we can just go in and unilaterally bomb Iran - and anyone else we choose not to like this week - into submission.

Their interpretation of Christianity is going to bring us all down.

*anecdotally: I'm a pagan Unitarian agnostic, so, my appreciation for Jesus is as a historical figure of peace and anti-establishmentarianism.
