If you have been following Cohen's recent articles in the Times, he has systematically been attempting to downplay the misdeeds and ugly nature of the Iranian regime. <BR/><BR/>Cohen probably believes he is being a "good Jew" in trying to avert some kind of military conflict between the US/Israel and Iran. <BR/><BR/>The reality is though, the more the international community turns a blind eye to this problem, the more likely a military resolution becomes.ShamShamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07671000496345593221noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12677825.post-17765542715016745762009-02-23T18:48:00.000+00:002009-02-23T18:48:00.000+00:00An early but excellent comment left this morning o...An early but excellent comment left this morning on the NYT site:<BR/><BR/>"Roger Cohen seems always to bring a different point of view to his columns, but as someone who has also traveled the world, I would feel more comfortable if he were published in the New Yorker fiction section than the New York Times."Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12677825.post-79316393400172218882009-02-23T18:31:00.000+00:002009-02-23T18:31:00.000+00:00Here is the NYT article.
