It’s hard to see Americans welcoming a third war. But one sure and quick way President Obama could improve Americans’ opinion of him is by bombing Iran and destroying its nuclear-weapon capacity, advises the Hoover Institution’s Daniel Pipes for National Review: “No one other than the Iranian rulers and their agents denies that the regime is rushing headlong to build a large nuclear arsenal. . . . They might deploy these weapons in the region, leading to massive death and destruction. Eventually, they could launch an electromagnetic pulse attack on the United States, utterly devastating the country. By eliminating the Iranian nuclear threat, Obama protects the homeland and sends a message to American’s friends and enemies.”

He noted that lawmakers have looked at exemptions in the past but have not succeeded in eliminating them. “It is much more difficult to eliminate these exemptions than people realize,” he said, adding that he thought the most that lawmakers might eliminate would be $60 million worth of exemptions. Parkinson also said the cry to eliminate exemptions is often “a mask for not having a plan.”Follow us
