On the Third Hand…

A Roar From The Den……..

We no longer have the luxury of even one more day. Thanks to the information revealed in the 9/11 Commission Report, the connection between Iran and terrorists is now out in the open, critics to the contrary. The too-tightly-twisted-turban-crowd™ is in it right up to the edges of those rags on all their heads. Hot in pursuit of nuclear arms, they must be stopped before they decide it’s time to go to war. We need to set the time of our own choosing, for there is no other way, now.

This excellent article by Charles Krauthammer from the WaPo, found via Iran va Jahan, has two definitive short segments, quoted below:

If not war, what then? We know the central foreign policy principle of Bush critics: multilateralism. Kerry and the Democrats have said it a hundred times: The source of our troubles is Bush’s insistence on “going it alone.” They promise to “rejoin the community of nations” and “work with our allies.”

Well, that happens to be exactly what we have been doing on Iran. And the policy is an abject failure.

The fact is that the war critics have nothing to offer on the single most urgent issue of our time — rogue states in pursuit of weapons of mass destruction.
