Ms. Longin’s failure to provide contextual facts to support her vindictive assault on Buchanan is curious. Her logic is not based on the cogent facts which embroil the issue at hand. From a geopolitical perspective, it is true that Iran isn’t interested in starting a War at this particular moment. Its bizarre antics and recent flexing are more likely aimed at an internal consolidation of power through misdirection and to keep its Arab neighbors at bay.

Her use of ultra- far left activist Christopher Hitchens and Newsweek Magazine (post 2005, an equally Liberal Fascist publication) as the sole source for her anti-Semitic implications position gives reason to question both the veracity and credibility of her forceful position. Likewise, it is obvious on its face, that her research lacks objectivity.
