"Iran hates us," Simpson said. "They may not even want to come to the table... They may hate our guts, but there's something they hate more. That's anarchy in Iraq."

Blindingly dangerous naivete.

This is in fact the most execrable, foolish, stupid, lexicon failing staement one could make. Where the hell is Mark Twain when you need him?

Simpson is "stuck on stupid." Homer Simpson has more insight on Iraq than this guy.

If my thoughts make me a "100 percenter" then so be it.

I agree with your assessment EternalVigilance. Simpson is full of "Blindingly dangerous naivete".

If Iran "hates" anarchy in Iraq, then why are the funding and supporting it!!???!! Iran and its puppet, Syria, are two of the main causes of the terrorism and "sectarian violence" in Iraq. This is why Iraq is NOT a "Civil War". Iraq is a newly sovereign Parliamentary Republic under siege from two of its neighbors who have NO REASON to want peace and stability in the region.

There must be some cancerous mist in the air around the "Beltway" that causes politicians to go bonkers and become morons who think we can 'talk' to tyrants like Chamberlain 'talked' to Hitler. Now I know how Winston Churchill felt in 1938 as he was laughed at in Parliment for saying that Hilter was a danger. Oddly, few laughed after 1938...

The only thing we can do to these terrorists that is effective in creating peace is to kill them. No talking, no pandering, no appeasement. They will not give us a second chance to realize this if they can help it.
