Mr. Krauthammer makes no statements in his piece about whether Israeli war planning is likely to be correct or whether issues might occur (in fact, there is quite a bit of disagreement about this matter within the Israeli intelligence and defense circles), whether the US would or would not suffer repercussions if Israel preemptively attacks Iran, or whether or not the US has a vested interest in this. While Mr. Krauthammer does support an Israeli strike against Iran (stated in other writings and media appearances, but not this particular column), the point of this column is to say that the argument that deterring the Iranians won't work just because it worked with the Soviets. Care to address the points that were actually made in the op-ed? |
