#1 this is an oped by a columnist. When the Globe editors actually call for war with Iran, that will be big news.

#2 They still published it. I bet it has resulted in some heated discussions at the Globe, many of who's staff strongly believe in not publishing dissenting opinions.

They trot out Jeff Jacoby and Cathy Young (both great, BTW) for their token conservative and libertarian columns from time to time (although Jacoby's on a pretty short leash, IIRC).

#4 I'm sure The Globe will atone to their readership for this obvious mistake by devoting their Living Section entirely to stories spotlighting and championing gay lifestyles.
Oh, wait. They do that already...

#5 "staff strongly believe in not publishing dissenting opinions."

Most of Americas Mainstream Media routinely publish a range of voices on the "oped" page, thats what its for. If theyre biased, it cause of what the choose to highlight in the NEWS pages.

as im sure youre aware, there are plenty of thinking gays who have no love for the mad mullahs. Take Andrew Sullivan for example.

#7 Yeah, LH. I know that. Smart way to be if you don't want a building dropped on you.
Let's just say the Globe seems just a little too obsessed with how wonderful the lifestyle is, which is just one of the many reasons I very rarely read it anymore.
