The only thing worse than having to live through two more years of Bush would be then having to live through four years of Giuliani:
As for Iran, Mr. Giuliani said that “in the long term,” it might be “more dangerous than Iraq.
”He then casually lumped Iran with Al Qaeda. “Their movement has already displayed more aggressive tendencies by coming here and killing us,” he said.
Mr. Giuliani was asked in an interview to clarify that, inasmuch as Iran had no connection to the Sept. 11 attacks. Further, most of its people are Shiites, whereas Al Qaeda is an organization of Sunnis.
“They have a similar objective,” he replied, “in their anger at the modern world.”
In other words, he said, they hate America.
We’ve already been down this path before. An administration lies about the linkage between two unrelated bad actors, and then gets us involved in an unwinnable quagmire based on those lies. Just replace the ‘q’ with an ‘n’ and the Giuliani foreign policy is identical to the Bush foreign policy.
But it gets even worse:
At a house party in New Hampshire on Monday, he said the United States
would most likely be fighting in Iraq for a long time, “unless there is
some kind of miracle.” He attacked the “dangerous and irresponsible”
Democratic effort for a withdrawal timetable.
And then this:
And speaking at a high school in St. Petersburg, Fla., he maintained
that the struggle would be over only “when they stop planning to come
here and kill us.”
There you have it. The Giuliani foreign policy. Unending war in Iraq. New war in Iran. And war against anyone else while there is even a chance that some people may not like us and might try to kill us.
