Iran continues its threats. American diplomats promise sanctions at the U.N. But Iran knows that without America’s will to use force as a last resort, U.N. resolutions amount to nothing. Bill Kristol puts his finger on the sad truth. For now, America’s suffering from too much war fatigue to see the need for strength. Actually, I think conservatives are less fatigued by the tough slog in Iraq than by the taunts of the left. And the country in general is tired of our internal political battles, without fully buying the views of either the right or the left. In other words, America’s domestic divisions are paralyzing us at the critical moment. That is what accounts for the governmental enervation described by Kristol. Yet the world goes on, despite our fatigue. And the danger is real.
