Good. It will make domestic US resistance to Total War much lower once the provocation is delivered. This is ultimately a cultural/religious war.

No Arab nation has yet felt the western way of war the way Germany, Russia and Japan have. They need not a hudna from which they can recover to prey upon the world yet again, but a mouthful of the terrible swift sword. If they want to set themselves up for it, so be it.

#4 NS says it all.

When you do not confront evil thugocracies like Iran and Syria, you get run over or pushed back. Our tepidness and confronting evil will get us a ME nuke war.
