Cohen Comes Collusively

Roger Cohen seems to be driven.

He is pro-Iran, its most dedicated defender.

Here he attacks Netanyahu's view:

I don’t buy the view that...Iran is “a fanatic regime that might put its zealotry above its self-interest.” Every scrap of evidence suggests that, on the contrary, self-interest and survival drive the mullahs.


and thinks of

Netanyahu’s intense-eyed attempt to suck America into a perpetuation of war-on-terror thinking


Ah, Netanyahu is the new force of evil.

Cohen doesn't think like everyone else:

The only way to stop Iran going nuclear, and encourage reform of a repressive regime, is to get to the negotiating table. There’s time. Those “months” are still a couple of years (*). What Iran has accumulated is low-enriched uranium. You need highly-enriched uranium for a bomb. That’s a leap.

Israeli hegemony is proving a kind of slavery. Passage to the Promised Land involves rethinking the Middle East, starting in Iran.


Do you think Cohen might be in collusion with the wrong side of this?

And this letter attacks a previous outrageous opinion of Cohen.

And a previous comment of mine on Cohen, one of many recently.

(*)

Iran is now running 7,000 uranium enrichment centrifuges, a senior official said on Thursday, an announcement likely to increase Western concerns about the Islamic Republic's disputed nuclear plans.
