Just Because
What’s amazing about all of this bomb Iran talk is that there doesn’t seem to be any genuine (if crazy) military goal as commonly understood. Sure there’s talk of bombing the nuclear program, but basically the bombing talk is about bombing for its own sake to prove that we can and to demonstrate that people still listen to John Bolton. I suppose there’s some sort of tiny penis psychology going on here, such that the point of bombing them is to prove to the world that we do have a big swinging dick and then those silly Persians will be so awed by it that they’ll do anything we want.
But this is, you know, morally obscene and criminal. Welcome to Bush America!
The New Republic Syndrome
Quite the track record over there.
