Hootsbuddy's Place

I would rather be an optimist and be wrong than a pessimist who proves to be right. The former sometimes wins, but never the latter.

Max Sawicky Speaks. You listen.

The Israel tail wags the U.S. dog in this particular matter because the U.S. thinks it has to lean on Iran. This is idiotic. The U.S. has zero leverage on Iran. Iran can turn Iraq into Somalia. Iran is aided by China and Russia. The U.S. has less than zero leverage on China, George Bush's banker. Russia is wealthy from oil revenues, China from selling us televisions. In other words, sitting on our air-conditioned asses watching the tube makes our foreign policy untenable. What a superpower.

About Me

My photo
Hoots
Hootsbuddy's Place is a playground of eclectic interests (see blogroll) and a critical habit of mind. Traffic here is mainly from search referrals. This link leads to two previous profiles of the blog host. Readers should be familiar with the Overton Window. Briefly, ideas can be organized in a continuum of public acceptance along these steps: Unthinkable, Radical, Acceptable, Sensible, Popular, and Policy. Hootsbuddy's Place is more apt to be at the Unthinkable end of the list than the Policy end. Links to high-traffic sites are minimal except for credibility because I tend to be a bottom-feeder. I can be reached privately via Hootsbuddy (at) G-mail (dot) com. Make yourself comfortble and enjoy your visit.
