Affording a third war now.
Reader comment on item: Sarah Palin Endorses 'Bomb Iran'
Submitted by Nathan Kravetz (United States), Feb 8, 2010 at 18:52
I doubt the suggestion, whatever it does to Obama's future. We are now engaged in hostilities on two fronts (I include Iraq which is still not quiet or stable). An attack on Iran no matter how stealthy would bring retaliation, deaths in the region, and cost us lots of money. There must be a better way.
