You know, dudes and dudettes, I should really read Krauthammer 40,000 more often. He is absolutely amazingly bonkers, and the sad thing is that he ended up as a dull American conservative, because he should really be writing manifestos for some kind of post-Balkan cryptototalitarian art collective:

As in Soviet days, the threat is both internal and external. Iran, a mini-version of the old Soviet Union, has its own allies and satellites - Syria, Lebanon and Gaza - and its own Comintern, with agents operating throughout the region to extend Islamist influence and undermine pro-Western secular states.
Honestly, it gets no better than that. The world looks like something to nail when you're only tool is a hammer and sickle.

When I was a poor student in Freedom School, reading Rimbaud and listening to Throbbing Gristle, we used to hang out in our red, white, and blue paint-splattered 5% Lycra pegged black jeans and Doc Martens and ask each other, "What is Freedom?" as we passed around the bong.
Those were the motherfucking days.
"Powerful they were. The communists were not just the most organized and disciplined. In France, they rose to largest postwar party; in Italy, to second largest. Under the Truman Doctrine, U.S. presidents used every instrument available, including massive assistance - covert and overt, financial and diplomatic - to democratic parties to keep the communists out of power."
Um, yay for democracy?
"Why gratuitously legitimize Islamists? Instead, Americans should be urgently supporting secular democratic parties in Egypt and elsewhere with training, resources and diplomacy."
.. right. starting with .. Saudi Arabia, the most significant importer of terror in the region (*more* Iraqi Shia blown up today. guess that was the Iranians, huh?).
