Norman Podhoretz is a New York neo-conservative columnist who advocates a pre-emptive military strike against Iran, for fear that Iran will build a nuclear weapon some day and threaten the western world. He acknowledges this could create a huge backlash of anti-Americanism world wide. But, he says, it is worth it.
Podhoretz is Rudy Guliani's senior foreign policy advisor.
You can read his "Case for Bombing Iran" here.
Podhoretz openly advocates what he calls World War IV (III being the cold war) and makes analogies to Adolf Hitler when referencing Iranian's nutty president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. Podheretz is quick to point out that the Iranian leader's agenda is to first "wipe out" Israel.
I suppose it is not surprising that a Jewish neo-conservative from New York would be advocating the U.S. save Israel by bombing an Islamic country; nor surprising that Guliani would be the presidential candidate listening to this guy.
So, if you are tired of this war in Iraq, but want another, then vote for Rudy.
On the other hand if you think Podhoretz is a warmongerer (and that such is a bad thing), then you will only vote for Rudy if you have lost your mind. If Rudy wins, then we all will be losing a lot more: many thousands more of our young men and women in a purposeless and unnecessary war.
