I have stated that I know Bill Kristol. His father, Irving Kristol, founded the Neocons. I had direct conversations, and I can confirm that this has been an agenda dealing with Iran that has always been about regime change. I was told that removing the dictators and overthrowing Iran would somehow bring peace to the Middle East. We drew their borders, and they see themselves more as tribes than as citizens of a state. I agree with Jeffrey Sachs. Our Neocons swear that whoever they oppose at this instant, intends to attack the USA, so they always propose to attack them first, and they act dishonestly and claim their hated opponent wants to do the same. This is no different than if I punch you in the face because I know who really wanted to hit me first, and I call it self-defense.
