The Bush administration has military plans drawn up in anticipation of having to destroy Iranian nuclear facilities.
Conservatives are arguing that America’s position in Iraq would improve if Iran chose to retaliate there, because Iranian interference would divide the Shiites into pro- and anti-Iranian camps, and unify the Kurds and the Sunnis. The Iran hawks in the White House and the State Department, including Elliott Abrams and Michael Doran, also have an answer for those who believe that the bombing of Iran would put American soldiers in Iraq at risk: “Yes, there will be Americans under attack, but they are under attack anyway.”
