Many are discussing John Bolton’s piece in the Wall Street Journal yesterday calling for the U.S. to lend support to Israel “before, during, and after a strike on Iran.”
Matthew Yglesias questions Bolton’s assertion that bombing Iran would delay them from obtaining nuclear weapons and asks whether a U.S. or Israeli attack would serve to strengthen Iranian domestic support to build a nuclear weapon and lead foreign nations to be more sympathetic towards Iran.
Justin Logan at Cato@Liberty also questions Bolton’s recommendations, but notes that he is open to debate.This is an awfully, awfully thin reed on which to base a case for starting another unprovoked war in the Middle East.”
