As we speak—it’s February 25th as we record, so commentary on the current situation may be out of date when you hear this—a naval armada of two fleet carriers and their accompanying surface-ship escorts sits off the Middle East as American diplomats pressure the Islamic Republic of Iran to renounce its nuclear ambitions and its expansionist agenda to dominate the region. Given the brutality of the Iranian regime—estimates suggest the regime killed at least 6,000 and perhaps in excess of 30,000 Iranians who protested against it earlier this year—you would think that Americans, even those who oppose armed conflict to depose the regime, would universally acknowledge the Mullah-ocracy’s evil. But you would be wrong. Joining us today to discuss those who don’t is our colleague Robert Stilson.
