#1 This shouldnt be a touchy-feely nation-building exercise: rehabilitation may be a bonus, but the primary objective should be punishmentand incarceration. Its up to the Iranian people how nutty a government they want to live with, but extraterritorial nuttiness has to be shown not to pay. That means swift, massive, devastating force that decapitates the regimebut no occupation.

Sounds familiar.

The lesson of the Danish cartoons is the clearest reminder that what is at stake here is the credibility of our civilization. Whether or not we end the nuclearization of the Islamic Republic will be an act that defines our time.

We owe the Danes a huge debt of gratitude. Additionally, as I have said many times: A nuclear armed Iran will go down in history as one of the greatest strategic blunders of this new century.

#3 IOW, what Steyn is saying is that "regime change" is only way to handle Iran, and Russo-Chinese/International anti-US interventionism andor threat of regional nuke war be damned. WILL SAY AGIN THAT NO AMERICA SHOULD BE AFRAID OF NUKE WAR OR THE DRAFT, becuz the Policrats and wagffling Lefties will always be around, and espec becuz iff America doesn't stand and fight, it, its Allies, and Western democracy, Western DemoCapitalism, and Western civilization will be defeated iff not destroyed. NO MATTER HOW MUCH APPEASIN', CONCEDIN', COMPROMISIN', OR ISOLATIN' AMERICA AND WASHINGTON DOES, OUR ENEMIES INEVITABLY INTEND TO KILL AND DESTROY US ANYWAYS. THEY'RE ALREADY TELLING US OUR DEFEAT, DESTRUCTION, AND HOLOCAUST IS GOOD FOR PLANET EARTH AND FOR US - no [clear]mention of themselves, however.
