I get it now - if we all had refused to call Saddam a "monster" - a word that Noam Chomsky and Tariq Ali both used in interviews with me - we could have prevented the invasion of Iraq. And now, if we not merely refrain from criticizing the Iranian regime but praise it, then we can lift the sanctions and prevent a bombing run?
