It's times like this I just want to bang my head on the desk until the bad men go away and a peaceful void emcompasses the senses

Billmon, who is usually more "hep" on these things than I am, makes a good case that the Iran [War To Be Named] has already begun. And further points up the nasty parallels to pre-Iraq actions I've been trying to cover.

Seems like it's not a matter of "if", it's a matter of "when".

Plus there's a story at (I seem to recall) the presently unaccessable Blah3 about Iranian volunteers for terror retaliation against the United States. (Backup link here) And since we've made such a great case for pre-emptive strikes... well, fill in the blanks yourself.
