There’s all of this hullabaloo about us using spy planes and drones to monitor Iran’s nuclear program. Why is this even remotely controversial? The only major controversial aspects I can think of is that it was reported in the press and to a lesser extent that we were using Iraq as the base for these operations. I can see why that might be diplomatically problematic. But I want — nay demand — that the US government keep tabs on anti-American regimes as they pursue nuclear weapons. It would be a monumental scandal if we weren’t doing this.
