Matthew Yglesias explains why Hillary Clinton is “a bit too neoconnish” for his taste. In short, one of Clinton’s major financial backers is Haim Saban. Saban said that Ahmadinejad reminds him of Hitler (“When I see Ahmadinejad, I see Hitler. They speak the same language”), that it is clear what drives Ahmadinejad (the return of the Mahdi by annihilating Israel) and that, therefore, Iran cannot be allowed to develop nuclear weapons.
Now, I don’t know about Matthew – who is a fine blogger – but I am not exactly looking forward to a nuclear Iran either. In fact, most people aren’t looking forward to that. Everyone who ever listened to Ahmadinejad talking about Israel, for instance, will fear that if Ahmadinejad has a nuclear weapon, he might actually do what he has said he wants to do: wipe Israel off the map.
