The Omri Ceren Show - Wednesday At 2pm PST - Michael Ledeen On His New Book "Accomplice to Evil: Iran and the War Against the West"

War

We're settling into our regular time slot this week, going live at 2pm on Wednesday and running the full 45 minutes. You'll be able to help yourself to the podcast any time afterward either through the widget to the left or through the One Jerusalem frontpage. But to hear the show live you have to be on The Omri Ceren Show's Blog Talk Radio page. The widgets only serve archived shows. The only way to listen live is via the Blog Talk Radio page. Once you're following along from there you can call in, get on the air, and provide grist for the ever-churning mill that is One Jerusalem Radio.

My interview this week is with Michael Ledeen, conservative foreign policy expert and best-selling author, discussing his new book Accomplice to Evil: Iran and the War Against the West. The book goes on sale bright and early tomorrow morning but you can preorder it either from Amazon or from less traditional but more discounted web storefronts like Overstock.com. As usual I'll play interview highlights tomorrow on the show and then make the full exclusive interview available on the One Jerusalem audio page.

There's an entire slow-moving Book Notes-style interview to be done with Ledeen about how his deep "no despised regime can last" sensibilities map onto his previous work on Machiavelli. My hunch: straightforwardly. But this week's interview focused less on theory and more on the immediately terrifying issues in Accomplice to Evil - the West's shameful sellout of Iranian reformers, the genuinely fragile nature of the Khamenei/Ahmadinejad regime, and the few - but compelling - options for dealing peacefully with Iranian nuclearization. "We don't have to bomb Iran" is the explicit optimistic upshot, "unless we continue abandoning the struggle for freedom" is the less sanguine warning.

Also on the show Wednesday: the Goldstone Report is undermining moderate Palestinians, the Obama administration's discovery that the Taliban aren't our enemies, Nobel Peace Prize lol's, and whatever happens between now and then. Tune in!
