The only person who can argue for war AND diplomacy with a straight face

From the stark-raving mad department...John Bolton targets his Israel's missiles on Iran again. In Boltonland, Iran already has dozens of nuclear weapons pointed at Israel and the United States Chicago, anything short of pre-emptive warfare is "weakness," and the fact that Iran's presidential elections are tomorrow -- and may actually unseat neocons' favorite whipping boy -- is a reason not for nuance, but for publishing a warmongering op-ed sooner rather than later.

Many argue that Israeli military action will cause Iranians to rally in support of the mullahs' regime and plunge the region into political chaos. To the contrary, a strike accompanied by effective public diplomacy could well turn Iran's diverse population against an oppressive regime.

Bomb first, negotiate later.
