“I have nothing but respect for Roger Cohen …amplified by the hatred towards him shown by war pimps.”

It would seem that Roger Cohen is the war pimp here, judging by his aid and comfort to the warmongers in power in Iran. This is the same perversion that had “anti-war” fascists (and communists, while the Hitler-Stalin Pact lasted) in America calling FDR a warmonger.

“Now I cannot be accused of being a Roger Cohen basher.” I don’t know how that impression could have come across, what with the title of your piece being “Memo to The New York Times: Fire Roger Cohen!”. Who wrote this?

He was hardly endorsing Iran. The point he was trying to make was that inspite of Iran’s manifest hostility towards Israel, at least they avoid taking it out directly on their Jews. Obviously the Jews there have learned to lay low and not endorse Israel at least publicly. The truth is is that a lot of Jews are not Zionists.

“I know, if many Jews left Iran, it was for a reason. Hostility exists. The trumped-up charges of spying for Israel against a group of Shiraz Jews in 1999 showed the regime at its worst. Jews elect one representative to Parliament, but can vote for a Muslim if they prefer. A Muslim, however, cannot vote for a Jew.”

Please, why does the right feel they have to do a flame thrower attack on anyone who doesn’t endorse the “bomb them flat” foreign policy. After all, Mr. Ledeen for years kept telling us that an enlightened anti-mullah Iran is right around the corner.

I tend to agree with most of the comments in this article.

I’d like to see Roger Cohen fired not only because of his comments about the topic discussed, but also because of his constant French-bashing.

The Jews and the French united against Roger Cohen!

Let me remind the Jews that how they were burned alive in the hands of Europeans and how they were treated in the hands of American Christians not so long ago. Don’t be so much proud of the so called civilized world that you live now. I’ve been to Iran and read about its history. No such cases against the Jews ever happened in Persia. So don’t momentarily judge about Iranians. Just see what you did to Gaza recently.
