In two recent posts, "You’re right. Both Tel Aviv and Riyadh play us like violins" and "The other Tom’s Sunday column," Tom Barnett appears to lay the groundwork for supporting,
We Carry a Large Inventory Of Cheap Black Infrared 6s, or at least being indifferent to, a war on Iran. I don’t mean to say that Tom has a secret agenda,
Outlet Store Online Clearance Sale 2015 Stealth 3s, or even that he embraces the logical result of his thinking. Nonetheless, the conclusion that naturally flows from his writing is a command to opponents of offensive operations against Iran: take it easy.
Working backwards, Barnett seconds New York Times columnist Tom Friedman’s call for a . The 9/11 emergency, so goes the argument, is over. This is because emergencies are ruled by terrorists,

This means getting back to normal, and letting the American system that works so well in generating wealth and happiness function. National security will take care of itself, as it always has, because we are the biggest and best country on the block.
But earlier, Tom notes that the Israeli and Saudi governments are manipulating our policy towards Iran. While the Jewish and Wahabi States are not fans of each other, both fear the rise of Iran more than they fear each other.

I assume, that when Tom appears to endorse ludicrous ideas (like Friedman’s line of "I will not vote for any candidate who is not committed to dismantling Guantnamo Bay and replacing it with a free field hospital for poor Cubans"), Barnett is actually America’s governmental infrastructure (especially when it comes to national security) is sufficiently readjusted to the point where just playing for time makes sense. (America famously used the playing for time strategy in the Cold War.)
But if we are now playing for time, that means allowing the instability in the middle east to unfold as it will. It means that we no longer need a president who focuses on those problems,

Intelligence is highly heritable something like 50% of variation in general intelligence is explained by genetics. While clearly countries in the Gap do not have social systems to give their citizens an equal chance, it’s also clearly that those who do make it to the United States and succeed in a doctoral program are both hard working and smart.
So having an immigration regime which focuses on attracting intellligent individuals has the lasting effect of increasing the intelligence of Americans generally. It allows the United States to continue her policy taking the best, brightest, and hardest working from the rest of the world.

Hopefully Bush will flip flop on this soon. The Sunni mainstream,
