Salon reports on get tough with Iran noises recently made by 2008 presidential contenders Hilary Clinton and Evan Bayh.
Are we really willing to go to war to prevent Iran from acquiring nukes? I mean, compared to Iran, Iraq actually would look like a cakewalk! Also, I’m unpersuaded by the claim that the crazy ayatollahs wouldn’t be susceptible to traditional deterrence and balance-of-power considerations. After all, Stalin and Mao were not exactly the most stable of fellows, and it worked with them.
