Apparently John Moore doesn't know much in the way of facts and history, but he sure has a vivid imagination.

Moore concludes by charging that those who want diplomacy are in a state of psychological "denail." Perhaps he's in a psychological state himself. Moore seems to be in the camp of those who can't sleep at night because of paranoid fantasies that Iran is secretly plotting to nuke Israel.

To these, my unfortunate and frightened fellow Americans, I say, "OK, squirm in your bed with the covers pulled over your head, take tranquilizers, see a therapist. Whatever it takes." I don't mean to be cruel. In fact, I feel for those whose fears--fears that possibly stem from their parents' experience with the Nazis--are being manipulated by the likes of Cheney.

But dear Mr. Moore, don't try to rally level-headed and humane Americans behind the idea of nuking Iran--the U.S. committing a "preemptive holocaust" on innocent civilians, if you will--because of your fears. That would be immoral, illegal, and illogical.
