If Iran causes bombs to fall on Kurdish villages in Iraq and the press doesn't make a big noise of it, does it make a sound? 

From Noah Shachtman (Wired, Iran Launches Airstrikes on Iraqi Villages, May 4, 2009):

Given the Democrats' history with this sort of thing, I suspect their reaction will be something along the lines of a rocket up a Camel's butt.  Will this create a call to bomb Iran?  Not from the Left it won't, so Iran will keep doing it, just as they keep enriching uranium for their nuclear weapons power program.

The frustration of Clinton years is becoming all too clear again. We've returned to the Twilight Zone pre-9/11 way of thinking about the dangers in the world.
