The Mideast

Prateek Kumar   International Editor

Nice touch on the Democrats' side to bring in a soldier who opposed the war in Iraq.
Biden, who is Chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, says not to ratchet up the rhetoric against Iran, and says that Congress should not have labeled the Revolutionary Guard as a terrorist organization because this makes the Arab world think that this is a war against Islam.
That's showing very poor knowledge for being the Foreign Relations Chair. The Shiite Persians and the Sunni Arabs need to be thought of as different entities within the Middle East. The Sunni Arabs won't be angry just because the U.S. labels a Shiite Persian organization as a terrorist organization.
Clinton, noting that the Revolutionary Guard is a terrorist organization which has attacked the American military, gives a good answer, as the Democrats continue to worry about portrayed as soft on terror and American national security.
