OP-ED: Why Iran can't be contained, By Danielle Pletka, Washington Post, December 15, 2009

Some classic nonsense: apparently, all the existing nuclear powers, none of whom ever got their way on anything threatening nukes, are all going to be cowed and bullied by Iran's nukes.

Iran is unique! The Sovs, crazy Mao, etc., they were all peons compared to the mighty Persians! Easy to deter!

As for America? We are pussies, unable to pull triggers--as history shows time and again!

Thus, although Pletka can't bring herself to say it out loud (just implying Obama is too much of a coward to consider it), America must strike (because making Israel do it would be "appalling").

Curtis Le May lives and breathes, and he's still a complete strategic jackass.
