At War With Iran! Everything You Wanted to Know but Were Afraid to Ask

Send us Fan MailThis is a discussion of the historic context of this war, plus some thoughts on the strategic issues involved. Note: At one point I referred to the end of the Gulf War when I meant to say the end of World War II. Note:  At this point (March 17)  opposition to the war is about 53-41.  Republicans are very supportive, Democrats opposed. The general pattern in public opinion, is that whenever your country goes to war, you support it, but then support falls off very quickly within a month or so.  By 51-29 Americans think the war has made us less safe.
