“The voice of protest, of warning, of appeal is never more needed than when the clamor of fife and drum, echoed by the press and too often by the pulpit, is bidding all men fall in and keep step and obey in silence the tyrannous word of command. Then, more than ever, it is the duty of the good citizen not to be silent.” – Charles Eliot Norton

More on US trumping up fears of Iran
Marc Lynch has a great article in the Christian Science Monitor that echoes my previous blog entry: "Fomenting Fears of a Shiite Crescent" and shows that leaders in the Gulf countries are turning away from the Bush Administration's campaign to demonize Iran - mending their own fences and pursuing a much more rational and moderate foreign policy than anything coming out of the US. It's a sad day when the Saudis make our government look like a bunch of crazy zealots . . . .
