[QUOTE=Enigma]Reading that article from Kos, I think anyone would have to say that there is logic to it. It's not an extremst view at all. Nor a suprising consideration.[quote]
To sum it up nicely, I'll quote poster LeftOut at LGF, who quotes from the article's end:

I am not here advocating an Iranian ‘preemptive’ strike on Israel or the U.S. But those who argue for a U.S./Israeli first-strike on Iran should be, at least if they have even a modicum of respect for the basic moral principle of universality (that we apply to ourselves the same standards we apply to others, if not more stringent ones - to paraphrase Noam Chomsky). Those that don't - at last count, all of them - should not be taken seriously.
Ah, the musky aroma of moral relativism.

All cultures are equal. Cannibals have as much right to eat human flesh as Americans have to eat Quarter pounders. Who am I to make value judgements?
There are a lot more comments worth reading there that show the imbecility of this KOS article - one of many.

Beyond that, your comments are just, well, silly.
Well, well.
