Even short Rod Dreher

Belle summarizes it as: "You know, although I’d listened to the Black Sabbath song ‘War Pigs’ many times before, I felt now as if only now I were hearing it for the first time."

I would go with "Why, oh why?, didn't we listen to the hippies?"

Or at least I would have gone with Dylan's "Masters of War."

I am/was one of those mostly-ignored hippies. If the "conservatives" had merely listened to Barry Goldwater it would have been a massive improvement over what actually happened. But no, they chose the eutectic of stupid as their guide.

I think we need to give the President and his team a little more credit. Talking about fighting is fundamentally different than fighting. And in fact, if done right can prevent a fight. Iran has been making trouble. We are talking back. Isn't a conversation what we wanted the President to do -- talk more?

The issue here is not Iran, but Iraq.
