Charles Krauthammer takes a no-nonsense look at the impact of military action against Iran.
It is not a pretty picture but - as he notes - neither is the prospect of a nuclear Iran commanded by an aggressive and bizarre regime that is beyond the confines of normal deterrence theories.
I would love to see a viable alternative to the military one but every essay I've read on the subject eventually runs into the wall of this question: What if your option doesn't work and the worst case scenario comes about?
Advocates of any option must answer that question but one worst case scenario seems much worse than the other.
