Either we should just back off, and allow Iran to do whatever it wishes; or, alternatively, we should take whatever military action is necessary to stop Tehran's nuclear ambitions (whether that means a total naval blockade or a massive air strike).
I personally support the latter, as the less terrible altermative.
But we simply must choose. Now.
No more fence-straddling.
“Either we should just back off, and allow Iran to do whatever it wishes”
I do see that as a better option than what we’re doing now. We look really stupid going on saying, “Iran poses a threat and we can’t allow them to have nukes” while they continue to build nukes. We’d be better off saying, “we don’t care if you have nukes, just don’t use them on us or anyone we like.”
About Buchanan. This article is steeped in Rat talking points. I mean, you can’t disagree about the war but you don’t have to completely go to the other side.
