   Maybe if Bush and Netanyahu hadn’t kept stating they would be bombed, it might have made them less anxious for a response capability?

   Shorter Horsey (and the bazillion other cartoonists who’ve released essentially the same thing this week): Nations who build bombs because they think they have a right to dominate the world are annoying to nations who build many, many times more bombs because they really do.

   And, GK, once we threaten them on international media (bomb bomb bomb, bomb bomb Iran) it provides incentive to arm immediately, not to mention sympathy gained from their supporters.

   The lessen learned from Iraq is to arm before the U.S. threatens invasion.

    Sadly, “belligerent” isn’t defined as “refusing to follow our orders.”

    Mr Horsey seems to have a good grasp on one of the pillars of world power as practised by the United States since 1945….
