Tom Woods warns against those who were promoting regime change in Iran, but are now chiding skeptics of strikes as worriers because it appears things have settled. He writes:
If the ceasefire holds, then we have reason to be pleased that the world averted something potentially much worse. On Twitter right now we have people lecturing us that we shouldn’t have been so worried, we should have trusted the president, it was just a quick strike, etc.
No one should fall for that, because over the past 72 hours, those very same people were all over the map: it’s not about regime change; then it’s not about regime change but it would be fine if it were; then it would be easy to install the son of the shah of Iran; then it darn well should be about regime change, and regime change is easier than you stupid isolationists think, etc.
So the very people now lecturing us that this was a limited intervention were themselves ready at the drop of a hat to support, and to excommunicate others for opposing, all-out regime change.
The President, meanwhile, expressed his frustration to the press today about violations of the ceasefire:
They violated it, but Israel violated it, too…. As soon as we made the deal, they came out and they dropped a load of bombs the likes of which I’ve never seen before. The biggest load that we’ve seen. I’m not happy with Israel. You know, when I say, okay, now you have 12 hours, you don’t go out in the first hour and just drop everything you have on them. So I’m not happy with them. I’m not happy with Iran, either, but I’m really unhappy if Israel is going out this morning because of one rocket that didn’t land that was shot, perhaps by mistake, that didn’t land. I’m not happy about that. You know what we have? We basically have two countries that have been fighting so long and so hard that they don’t know what the f*** they’re doing. Do you understand that?
