Is there anywhere, one wonders, that Diehl would <em>not</em> want the US to intervene in defense of what he believes are the interests of the current Israeli government? He provides no details, no exit plan, no strategy - just a desire to somehow get involved.  This, mind you, is from someone who also wanted intervention in Iraq, intervention in Libya, and is now angling for a new war against Iran. I guess he never had an exit plan or any conceivable, practical strategy for Iraq, Afghanistan or Libya, especially their unintended consequences. So what's stopping him now? ]]></html></oembed>
