Yesterday’s comment by SDB about his difficulty in writing about proportional response by Israel resulted in my writing a brief grumble to him and rambling about my change in focus on Houblog. Two and a half years ago, when I started it, one of my major subjects was supposed to be the War on Terror. Instead, by the time I relaunched in 2005 with WordPress, I was no longer that interested in writing about it. There were a lot of people doing a much better job of it than me, and I was tired of arguing with moonbats.

I was pretty pessimistic in my e-mail, as I pointed out, if not even the Israelis are going to kick ass and take names, the rot has gone too far. Iran’s going to get the nuke, and we’re going to regret it badly; unfortunately we’re not going to regret it badly enough to string up the Cindy Sheehans of this world like we should, even after the fact; these jackasses are going to kill millions through their paralyzing of our government. They attack Iraq as the “wrong” war but they don’t support attacking Iran as the right war.

Well, in terms of “doing a much better job of it than me,” Stanley Kurtz takes a look at the post-proliferation world we’re going to be staring at after Tel Aviv or New York gets the nuclear enema, and it’s just what I was thinking. Only said a lot better and more clearly.
