Re: Santorum, Romney, Paul
Right. I'm just saying the voters are very fluid this year. And all the candidates are gaining momentum in terms of name recognition. Even after Iowa and New Hampshire, I think it's early enough...

Re: Santorum, Romney, Paul
Well, there is some logic to leading with small states. It forces the candidates to talk to real voters. And the rest of us can watch on TV. If California were first, it would be a battle of...

Re: Santorum, Romney, Paul
Given the volatility of the electorate this year, I really don't understand how someone can spend months campaigning and then give up based on the results from a few farmers in Iowa.

Re: Santorum, Romney, Paul
I read that Romney won with 25% of the vote. This is such a good illustration of the media's laughable obsession with constructing a horse race story.

Re: Great DV John & Glenn!
I guess providing support and forming alliances with any nation risks irritating the neighbors. But that's not sufficient reason to become an isolationist. The fact of life is that conflicts will...

Re: Great DV John & Glenn!
My argument is that no one should, and Israel will not, be pushed around by threats of annihilation when it is clear who the aggressor is. It's sort of like "Buy this magazine or we'll shoot this...

Re: Great DV John & Glenn!
Can you describe this transformation in more detail? I mean, when the time comes that they have the capability, isn't it just a matter of Israelis deciding (as is their habit) that they won't be...

Re: Great DV John & Glenn!
Not joking. I care more for other cities than I do about Tel Aviv.
With regard to loose nukes, I'll just say that some of us have questions about Iran's reliability.
Do you really think the...

Re: Great DV John & Glenn!
I think your answers are pretty good, with the exception of the Israel answer quoted above, which is rather weak. Congratulations on the others.
Your point about proxy actions has some truth, but...

Re: Great DV John & Glenn!
There are no simple answers to these questions. I'm sorry to say that your "answers" are exhibit A in the case that there are no simple answers.

Re: Heather Hurlburt & Daniel Drezner
You make good points, but let me flesh out the argument.

Re: Heather Hurlburt & Daniel Drezner
