It isn’t just hatred that makes it impossible to risk a near-term GOP return to power, it’s reckless violence that constitutes evil. Newt Gingrich is what passes for an intellectual in the Republican Party, and he wants to start a war with Iran so that we can create a responsible government there. How does he want to do that? By sabotaging their gasoline refinery. Never mind that Iran has nine of them, Gingrich thinks they only have one. And he thinks we can use covert operations (which he announces on Al-Jazeera) to take out that one refinery and that that will start a magic-pony ride ending with a responsible government in Tehran.
The only thing preventing us from doing this is that the Democrats are in power and that our generals are not lambs that will carry out any order no matter how stupid.
