Damned if You Do...
The situation with Iran and its nuclear program are nearing a flashpoint, and yet it really has not sunk it with most people in America. I don't know if it is because of burnout after years of war in Iraq, but so far it remains a secondary side story for most. Author Victor Davis Hanson concisely explains the current situation and the pros and cons of any response, diplomatically or militarily.
The sad part is seeing how much change is occuring in Iraq. The youth of Iraq have more freedom now than they have had in decades, and listening to them on radio, television, and on the web, will be a true force for political and social change in Iran in the next few decades. The eventual decline of the theocracy and rise of a democracy will most likely be destroyed if this crisis leads to a war.
