WBZ TONIGHT
I will be filling-in for Steve Leveille on WBZ-AM in Boston tonight starting at Midnight until 5 AM tomorrow morning. Among the items I am considering for discussion:
Are we at war, or should the terrorist threat be considered a criminal justice matter?
Who do you have more confidence in when it comes to running the "War on Terror", Republicans or Democrats?
Who won, Israel or Hezbollah, and does it matter to us? This article from the New York Times seems to indicate that it is Hezbollah that is taking advantage on the ground by building more political power in Lebanon.
Is the Iraq War a failure?
Should the U.S. admit fewer legal immigrants each year. A new study from the Census Bureau contains some eye-popping numbers, including for Massachusetts as detailed in this Boston Globe article.
Should Congress raise the minimum wage? Here is an argument against it.
Did Iran blunder by prodding Hezbollah to make war against Israel, or is the end of the war through the U.N. Resolution 1701 simply another Munich?
Jeff Jacoby has some thoughts on the recent Mike Wallace interview of President Ahmadinejad of Iran.
The Pentagon is studying its errors in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Peter Galbraith says the West cannot win the fight in Iraq. He thinks the country is already in a civil war and beginning to come apart.
The Israelis will stop their pullout of Lebanon if the Lebanese Army does not deploy. Strategypage has some thoughts on how this might play out. Hezbollah is balking at the prospect of withdrawing from Southern Lebanon.

Re : Aug 22 Iranian response
It would seem plausible that Iran could declare war on the United States on Tuesday. An attack on our positions in Iraq would be possible, their political assets are already in place there. Al Sadr and his minion army has been active for quite a while now. By attacking us in Iraq it would further fuel the political divide within our own country. The Iranian leader has quoted the American anit-war lefts views before so he is aware of the situation here. Ahmadinejad has met with Hugo Chavez which one could speculate a co coordinated oil shut down by both nations would devastate the U.S. economy. The wild card of Irans nuclear ambitions and denial of the Jewish holocaust make these observations very discomforting to say the least. Add to this the posibility of mulitiple coordinated terrorist acts like the plan that was broken up in London, the farce of the Hezbolla cease fire and one really starts to see the cards are on the table now. Let us hope we have a ace or two up our sleeve.
