What are we doing about Iran's plan to bomb us to hell?
If you believe these guys — and I do — the answer is “nothing,” or at least “nothing consequential.” But even the things they suggest — international sanctions or an oil embargo or both — are unlikely to work.
We need a full-on land invasion to find and destroy the elements of Iran’s nuclear program. But that’s not politically palatable just now, is it? It doesn’t help that Mr. Bush has said nary a word to the American people about the danger Iran poses to our friend Israel or to us.
If we won’t invade, shouldn’t we at least send a death squad to introduce a bullet to Mahmoud Ahmadinejad’s head? I think it contravenes U.S. law or policy to assassinate a foreign leader. If so, an operation on the qt is in good order here. In hindsight it’s impossible to argue that we shouldn’t have capped Hilter. Maybe the Mossad is suiting up.
The hour is late and the Bush Administration is dawdling. It’s horrible to say, but I fear we’ll do nothing useful until a nuclear device goes off in Tel Aviv or New York or both. The Iranian people will pay a terrible price for that. But so will we.
