I was shocked to find that, according to one poll, 52% of Americans are in favor of bombing Iran if it means preventing it from getting nuclear weapons. You never know how these questions are exactly worded, and sometimes it's meant to herd you into a certain answer. They could ask - "would you refrain from bombing Iran if it meant keeping world peace?" - and you'd get a completely different result.



Mike Huckabee just had the nerve to say we might try talking to Iran, really try, not Bush "try", before we start talking about bombing it. For his troubles he was treated like a pariah in the Republican party, but he doesn't back down. He says Bush has an "arrogant bunker mentality" in world affairs. I'm starting to like this guy.



So aside from the cockamamie, hare-brained idea that pre-emptive war is an answer to anything, let's take a look at other reasons we should not bomb Iran.



- It wouldn't do any good, since everyone knows the loose nukes are in Pakistan. We've just bought into Bush's demonization of Iran so much that we keep forgetting the reality.
