If you want to get up to speed on the stakes with Iran, these three pieces go a long way. 1) Mark Steyn’s outstanding City Journal piece. 2) David Ignatius’ op-ed from yesterday. And 3) NR’s editorial.

Print out all three for some gloomy lunchtime reading.

Update: A reader suggests adding James Fallows in the Atlantic. I haven’t read it yet, but there you go.
