Krugman, Carlson, and Behar were talking about the Iranian threat on Real Time last night. First question: Name me one thing Joy Behar understands about foreign relations. Oh, heck…never mind…. back to the segment.

Krugman and Carlson got into it over the threat of Iran, and incredibly Krugman offered this less-than-educated opinion:

Krugman: You’ve got all these Republicans talking about how Iran might establish a Caliphate and rule the world. You know this is not the poorest country in the world, but it’s pretty poor. It’s a small country. How did we get so frightened of a handful of Persians out there in the Middle East?

Oh, really? I guess Brigitte Gabriel, Walid Phares, Ayaan Hirsi Ali, and many other noted scholars are wrong about the nuclear threat of Iran. And WTF is this about “a handful of Persians”? Also, who does NOT know of Ahmadinejad’s desires to establish a Caliphate in the world, and have everyone convert to Islam? Krugman is obviously another mental midget; that, or he’s just a shill for the Democrats. Either way, he’s severely misguided.
