Time to Toss the Coin on the Rubicon

According to this Toronto Star report, Iran has joined the nuclear club. From here on in, all we really need to decide is if its time to do the full Bushy or change track and pull a Jimmy Carter.

A year ago, I would have bet on the full Bushy. Now I am not so sure that the West won’t opt for the full Carterization process. Just because a full Carter has never been demonstrably effective doesn’t mean it can’t work somewhere or sometime – even a broken clock is accurate twice a day. I don't think its a stretch to see which approach the editorial board of the Toronto Star will favour given this opinion piece likening the Iranians to the Cubans.

Steyn nails it in this edition of the City Journal.
