Today Hewitt hosted a “liberal” Toronto-based Iranian blogger named Hossein Derakshan. Quite revealing. He–Derakshan– thinks the United States and Iran are at war and fighting by proxies:

HH: And so, and you would rebuke the United States if the United States struck back in self defense against that intermeddling by Iranians in Iraq?

HD: Absolutely. It’s a war between Iran and the U.S. that’s happening actually in Iraq before it comes to Iran.

HH: So you believe that the United States and Iran are already at war?

HD: I think they are, and actually, this is not only in Iraq. They’re already at war in many other fronts.

HH: What other fronts?

HD: Including the Lebanon, which was basically between Israel and Hezbollah, but in reality, it was between Iran and the U.S. It was a proxy war.

Hossein also believes that radical Christians around Bush–or maybe not around Bush– are pressuring him into war to bring about the end-times. I wonder where he got that idea, which sounds like the babbling from DU or Radio Pacifica. Perhaps the title of this post on his blog offers a clue?
