Time for a little perspective

Norman Podhoretz, a respected founding member (I think he models himself after Dr. Strangelove) of the bloodthirsty, kill-em-all-let-god-sort-it-out, neo-con crowd, has written this piece advocating military action against Iran. http://www.commentarymagazine.com/viewarticle.cfm/Stopping-Iran-br--Why-the-Case-for-Military--Action-Still-Stands-11085

Then someone with a bit of a brain an interesting map together renaming the US states with the names of countries with similar GDPs.


Note where Iran is on the map. Iran has the same GDP as....wait for it....Alabama!! That kinda puts the threat in perspective, doesn't it??

I'm not quite sure what it means, but note that Canada is Texas.
