Iran on the ropes

Kevin Drum finds more evidence that the war on Iraq has strengthened the U.S.’s hand in dealing with rogue-regimes like Iran.

Seriously though, some of the hawks used to remind me of little kids pushing around toy-soldiers on their bedroom floors. I now see that that was terribly unfair of me. A kid pushing around toy-soldiers on his floor would surely have noticed that tying down a huge number of troops in Iraq would limit his ability to threaten Iran.

My original view insulted the intelligence of military-geek-kids the world over, and for that I apologize.
