A Prolonged War with Iran?
Daniel Larison in the American Conservative writes: Attacking Iran’s nuclear facilities would be the beginning of a new open-ended military commitment and the start of a prolonged war with Iran whose effects will probably surprise us by being even worse than we imagined beforehand. On top of all that, it is likely that such a […]

Common Ground with Iran?
Is there any common ground to be had with Iran? Pat Buchanan argues that the Israelis and their powerful lobby AIPAC, the Saudis and their Sunni allies on the Persian Gulf, a near unanimity of Republicans, and a plurality of Democrats in Congress do not want any détente with Iran, never mind a nuclear deal.

Ted Cruz a Non-Starter?
Daniel Larison writing in the American Conservative notes: What we know about Republican nomination politics tells us that Cruz is an extreme long-shot candidate.
