Republican and Democratic senators said on Sunday the United States may ultimately have to undertake a military strike to deter Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons, but that should be the last resort. "That is the last option. Everything else has to be exhausted. But to say under no circumstances would we exercise a military option, that would be crazy," Republican Sen. John McCain of Arizona said on CBS's "Face the Nation."Click on the first sentence or the title of this post to read the Reuters story. This is depressing. Iraq's always been the hot spot. And we let the Bush clan's vendetta against Iraq obscure the real deal.
I'm not saying that we must go to war with Iran. . .but if we do. . .it's not like we'll be charging in fresh as a daisy. We won't have to travel far, but I'm not sure we'll be bringing a lot of our friends along for the ride. However, in light of the Irani President's statements about Israel and their apparent determination to escalate their nuclear program. . .it just doesn't look good for isolationism a/k/a emulating the ostrich.
