Down With Diplomacy!

Bomb bomb bomb, bomb bomb Iran:

Realistically speaking, the point of this multilateral exercise cannot be to stop Iran's nuclear program by diplomacy. That has always been a fantasy. It will take military means. There would be terrible consequences from an attack. These must be weighed against the terrible consequences of allowing an openly apocalyptic Iranian leadership to acquire weapons of genocide.

The point of the current elaborate exercise in multilateral diplomacy is to slightly alter that future calculation. By demonstrating extraordinary forbearance and accommodation, perhaps we will have purchased the acquiescence of our closest allies -- Britain, Germany and, yes, France -- to a military strike on that fateful day when diplomacy has run its course.

Unlike the estimable Dr. Kraphammer I'm not a psychiatrist. Nonetheless, it's clear that that something in his psychological make-up is missing. All Chuck wants in his pathetic little life is to kill and ridicule and use his supposed credentials as a shrink to declare others, to use a medical term, batshit insane.

He fancies himself as Dr. Strangelove (heck, he already has the wheelchair) but lacks the brains to do anything other than display his violent fantasies on the pages of the WaPo and in the studios of FOXNews.

In a way you have to feel sorry for him.
