Jeff Jacoby, that stern military patriot, howls for War with Iran, which apparently is supposed to resolve the conflicts sired by our war with Iraq and our neglected and bungled efforts in Afghanistan.
Whew...Is there any country on the map Jeff doesn't want to attack?
I guess not, but war whoopery isn't about about the interests and safety of the United States of America it's about redressing the insecurities of the whooper and also giving them a priceless lexicon by which to question the manhood of their political opponents.
To put it bluntly, Jeff was wrong about Iraq (he'll never admit it but he was about the wrongest person on this topic north of Washington DC), five years of fighting there gave Al Queda a priceless opportunity to spread their trainees out all over the world, build up new cells and a propaganda coup worthy of the salad days of Joseph Goebbels. Now all that will be fixed if we just nuke Iran...Well I feel it incumbent upon myself to start athwart the process and cry "STOP!"
Jeff was wrong then and his is wrong now, his military premise is built on what is good for him as a movement conservative, not what is best for America.
