Why yes, I have noticed that the people most eager to
something-something-bomb-Iran were not all that long ago the biggest
cheerleaders for the Iraq War. What an odd coincidence.
One
of the most credible, effective proponents of war in 2002 was Sen. John
McCain (R-Ariz.), the former Vietnam prisoner of war who lost to
President George W. Bush in the 2000 Republican primaries.
McCain
argued that continuing a policy of deterrence against Iraq “would
condemn Saddam's neighbors to perpetual instability. And once Iraq's
nuclear ambitions are realized, no serious person could expect the Iraqi
threat to diminish.”
