File under: Govt of Iran

#1 For those not in the know, Roberts used to be an economic theorist, who supported supply-side economics in the 80's and produced some decent works until the mid 1990's.

Then something happened to him after the turn of the century. He went all Infowars/AlexJones/LewRockwell conspiracy theorist. Seriously like he lost his mind somewhere around his 65th birthday.

He has since become a nutbag 9/11 truther. He blames much on Israel, and "neocons" and european oligarchs, favored Russian aggression in Georgia and South Osettia (called it American provocation), called the opposition to ShortRound in Iran's elections a few years back "CIA led", and in general had some sort of a fixation involving hating on GW Bush. Also called the war on terror a "hoax" and instead said it was a war on "the Musilim peoples". Oh, and he also has been accused of antisemitism, and absolutely hates Israel.

Just so ya know who he is.

#2 Expert analysts usually have a 'prime' period when they do their best work, and then hopefully lapse into obscurity. If they stay in the public eye, they frequently become comic lunatics,.e.g. Paul Krugman.

#8 If they were "ethnic cleansing", they'd have started at the north end and rolled it up, demolishing all the buildings along the way, and smoothing the rubble into a landfill like area, with C-4 and D9's.
