A Name You Should Know

Unless you spend a lot of time reading blogs and other political stuff, you probably haven't heard of Norman Podhoretz, but you should get to know him because a vote for Guiliani is a vote for Podhoretz. Guiliani has assembled a foreign policy team headed by Podhoretz who is a very infuential figure among the neocons and has played an important role in shaping Bush's foreign policy, such as it is. The main thing you need to know about him is that he is "praying" that Bush bombs Iran! Another pre-emptive strike. So, you can imagine what advice he'll give to Guiliani. If you want to know more, read this article by him.

A vote for Guiliani is a vote for more war. It may be a moot point because I think Bush will bomb Iran before he leaves office if it looks like the Democrats might win. He knows the Democrats won't go to war with Iran unless it is absolutely necessary. He'll start the war, then leave it to the next president.
