Iran: Deja Vu All Over Again
January 24, 2006
I suspect that what is shaping up as a nuclear showdown with Iran is making a lot of people besides myself pretty darn nervous. The politically conservative Guardian WatchBlog has this to say:
Once again, we must deal with a defiant Middle Eastern dictatorship that everyone agrees is working on weapons of mass destruction, has declared us an enemy, oppresses its own people, supports terrorism and uses oil to prevent being called to account for any of it. Once again, the United Nations is talking tough, and every nation stands behind us — as long as we take no direct action. If we decide to do more than write stern letters and make speeches, you can bet that some of those who supposedly back us now will once again back away. And you can bet that it will be some of the same countries that do so. In the words of Yogi Berra, “It’s deja vu all over again.”
I hope those who have been bitterly critical of the U.S.’s intervention in Iraq will be able to constructively contribute to a solution to this quandary. I have noticed nothing from the liberal political wing to date, and the church has certainly not been making sense on the issue. Maybe this will be the time that the blogosphere will effect the balance of power in the country’s opinion-making.
Dave, listening, listening.
