Krauthammer: Understand Today What Will Happen Within a Year

Clear-eyed Charles Krauthammer today summarizes the costs of a military attack on Iran's nuclear facilities. They are high.

But he notes this as well, an apt point for all who believe that inaction is safe: "These are the costs. There is no denying them. However, equally undeniable is the cost of doing nothing."

The cost of doing nothing is (a) Iran's complete domination of the Middle East and its oil reserves; (b) nuclear weapons in the hands of a government with an ideology that makes their use attractive; (c) the consequent threat of annihilation for any city in the world.

How much time do we have to think about this? Krauthammer suggests one year.

So we suggest reading the article today.
