Quite interesting and enlightening - highly recommend going to the link and reading the whole thing.

Hanson thinks, that one of the things that emboldened Iran and Syria, is that they think that the US POPULATION is not ready for another war.

We can thank the Dems and the traitorous MSM for encouraging our enemies and make them think that they can get away with attacks.

They will always continue to use US media against us.

I think Hanson has it wrong, that the US will back down. High oil prices are more of an incentive to weaken Iran than to cow toe. Cowboy diplomacy is not dead. Furthermore, the nuke issue will not go away -- but increase, if America backs down. America has more to gain with the collapse of Syria's ruling family... which leaves only Iran left in the house of cards.

For anyone who didn't see this- here is the transcript of the interview- VERY good piece. Hanson nails it again.

Excellent discussion, and just further supports the idea that Israel should take this to the heart of the beast - Ahmadinejad and Teheran.

The first thing Hanson and others in the media should start doing is stop referring to "Hizbollah" and "Hamas" and start referring to them as "Iranian and Syrian military forces". That is exactly what they are with no spin attached.

I think Rubin has the right take: Iran/hezbollah has overplayed their hand; it's backfired on them.
I don't think they thought Israel would respond like this and I don't think they were expecting the media to turn on Iran like it has.
