There are some smart people, and a great many dumb people, who think a “war with Iran” would be a disaster and something we could not win. This is idiotic, no matter who says it, how they say it, or how they try to explain it. I don’t know why they say such things – the smart people, at least, as dumb people say dumb things because they’re dumb, it’s right there in their name. But the idea that we would lose is just as dumb as the idea that we should not confront them, because there will never be a better time than right now to do either.

I can’t ascribe a reason why these people, not just in America but around the world, seem to be the hype-men – think Jerome to Morris Day – for the Mullahs of Iran, but my suspicion runs the gambit from being dupes and useful idiots to being childish contrarians or on someone’s payroll. Some, I’m sure, do it out of what they view as principle, too, but what those principles are will forever remain a mystery.

Then there is just good, old-fashioned anti-Semitism. Occam’s Razor suggests this is the most common reason, even if it doesn’t manifest itself in obvious ways.

Why conflate the US being able to defeat Iran with Israel? Because they are........
