CLARK ON IRAN AND SYRIA

He wants to engage the Baathists in Damascus and the Islamofascists in Tehran. He doesn’t want them to feel threatened. And he wants to “internationalize” a force, while few foreign governments have either the means or the will to help out. I’m glad he’s not moving toward Kucinich-style isolationism. But what this amounts to is an end to a war on terror, which targets states as well as terrorist entities. It’s back to the 1990s. Which means, in reality, back, at some point, to another 9/11.
