How would this solve anything?
Reader comment on item: Sarah Palin Endorses 'Bomb Iran'
Submitted by David (United States), Feb 24, 2010 at 15:22
Wouldn't this simple galvanize opposition to us, both inside of Iran, and in the rest of the Middle Eastern states? The entire situation needs a delicate touch and diplomacy, not just bombing whatever the hell we want to. Politics is the art of compromise. Why not try to work this out diplomatically instead of just automatically reaching for the military?
