Another Non-Published Letter of Mine

^

Roger Cohen declares Iran's Ahmadinejad "odious but I don’t think he’s dangerous" but asserts that Israeli and U.S. alarmism is "a dangerous pattern" ("Iran, the Paper Tiger", Oct. 12). Are these two instances of danger value-equal? Iran might have a nuclear weapon of mass destruction and is actively engaged in achieving that goal. Iran is in an aggressive mode, the U.S. and Israel are in a defensive one. Yet Cohen assumes the role of a leveller for Ahmadimejad. Perhaps Cohen is the danger?

In more normal times (?), the Roger Cohens of this world would be locked up in Bedlam to scream their insane rants to the rest of the inmates: Ahmadinejad, Abbas, the Cleggeron and Osama/obama.

Or sent to the Tower of London. They would either be beheaded or hung, drawn and quartered.
