Looking at the medium run, all I can do at this point is to put leftists
on notice that they should reexamine Iran and provoke discussion about
it (while entertaining Carrol Cox, John Mage, Jerry Monaco,
Jean-Christophe Helary, and sundry others).  Events have to do the job
of changing their minds, just as they have on the question of troop
