'Do it'
Do what? Jonah never makes it clear. He cites JFK’s stirring words about defending democracy in context of Obama’s quiet approach toward Iran – and then he distances himself from JFK’s stirring words. He says he doesn’t want to bomb or invade Iran. But he doesn’t really say what the president should do or say about Iran. The best I can tell is he wants more … stirring words. … I’ll believe Jonah is committed to a consistent foreign policy of morality when he starts regularly dedicating entire columns to injustices in other nations across the world. … As far as I can tell, the president is handling the situation just about right. Tough words didn’t stop Iran’s support of terrorism or development of nuclear bombs under the previous administration. They won’t now.
