Charlie Reese doesn't care about Iran's nukes...

[txaslftist]

"...let's assume Iran does develop a nuclear weapon. I don't care. I've lived most of my life 30 minutes from total destruction by tens of thousands of the Soviet Union's nuclear warheads. The Bush administration's claim that nuclear deterrence, which worked against a superpower, will not work against a smaller and poorer country is bunk. Israel alone has enough nuclear warheads to pulverize Iran.

Oh, the administration says the Iranians will hand over a nuclear weapon to a terrorist organization. Well, where is any evidence of that? The evidence does show that once countries develop nuclear weapons, they keep pretty tight control over them.

But more to the point, if we don't want Iran to develop a nuclear weapon, why not negotiate? Why keep threatening the Iranians? It doesn't make any sense. If I were an Iranian, I would assume that President Bush intends eventually to attack the country. That would be stupid, but if you look at the stupidity of the Iraqi mess, you can't rule it out. Never believe that Bush won't do something just because it's dumb.

Iraq, with just over 20 million people, a flat terrain and a dilapidated military, has given us quite a bit of trouble. Try Iran, which has nearly 70 million people, a mountainous terrain and a much more effective military. You Bush lovers should write your man and advise him to let that sleeping dog lie."

From Charlie's 2-12-05 essay on Lew Rockwell.

3. I do like him

He's a Conservative, right? Hard to tell sometimes, because he often also makes sense.
Here's his definition of a Conservative. He was getting called a limo liberal, you see, and had to defend himself
http://www.lewrockwell.com/reese/reese140.html

He defended Dean here.
http://www.lewrockwell.com/reese/reese30.html

Predicted a big win for Kerry, while sorta pining for Dean's straight talk ala Harry Truman here.

Here's one where he's defending free speech, re: Churchill
http://www.lewrockwell.com/reese/reese165.html

Here's one where he calls on the Dems to take a stand.

On the three Medal of Freedom receipents he calls "The Three Stooges"

4. Wow! What a fantastic list of essays!

If he's a "conservative" with those views, then the Democrats are the "conservative" party.

Charlie Reese says some amazingly on point things. I had no idea, beyond the one essay I saw.
