Goldberg Attacks Juan Cole on Iran

As you may know (by now) I am convinced that Bush intends to invade Iran; doing so is next on the Neocon Perpetual War To-Do list, I have made a bet I hope to LOSE that Bush will do so, and I created an election-related bumper slogan "Vote for Bush, Send Your Kids to Iran". I am, in short, invested in the story.

This post from kos, therefore, greatly interests me. Goldberg is often referenced, but it looks like Goldberg is a bad guy. Why would I trust a kos referral (i.e. Juan) over someone else? Well, if you read the dKos, you know why...

The reason Mr. Goldberg is alarmed that I pointed this obvious fact out [that the Iranian elections in 1997 were more Democratic than the Iraqi ones in 2005] is that he wants to kill thousands of Iranians and thousands of US troops in a war of aggression on Iran. If the American public knows that there is a lively struggle between hardliners and conservatives in Iran, and that an American intervention there would be a huge disaster and would forestall the natural evolution of Iran away from Khomeinism, then they might not support Mr. Goldberg's monstrous warmongering.
