I wanted to take

I wanted to take a moment to flag everyone’s attention to the James Fallows’ quote excerpted here by David Kurtz over the weekend. The ‘surge’ and the accompanying political jousting surrounding it is important. But it pales in importance compared to the possibility of drifting or getting gamed into a shooting war with Iran. This is what Congress really needs to get on top of right now. As Fallows put it, “War with Iran would be a catastrophe that would make us look back fondly on the minor inconvenience of being bogged down in Iraq.”
