Kingdoms Of Fauxtoshop

And so we are facing a situation vis-a-vis Iran that is remarkably similar to
the one we had to contend with re: Iraq.  A hostile dictatorship, actively
attacking American soldiers, sponsoring terrorism, and crushing its own
people.   Oddly enough, Iran’s greatest risk is convincing us they are
on the verge of an atomic bomb.  And they’re trying.

Of course, we’re not their only audience, a lot of their deception is aimed
at their own people.  They are trying to convince Iranians that there is no
hope for them from the West, because the Islamic Republic is just too
potent.  But that, too, runs the risk of backfiring.

And that’s why they’re killing anyone who steps out of line.  Thirty in
one day today.

How will this play out?  I don’t know.  This administration
certainly doesn’t want to attack Iran.  But we may be deceived into doing
it.
