SWGA Politics

As usual, Cato has some spot-on commentary here, the crux of it being this:

If Iran’s government has overreached, the right response is schadenfreude. It couldn’t have happened to a nicer group of guys. Meanwhile, President Obama has a full plate of problems to deal with in his own country. Whatever government emerges from the Iranian political process, we’re going to have to deal with it. Until then, whatever President Obama’s personal prayers or wishes are for Iran, he ought to keep them to himself.

I’ve pretty well made a jerk of myself recently on Twitter and Facebook with my opposition to the hysteria over this supposed ‘crisis’, and I’m not about to repeat that mistake, at least not on the same issue and not so soon.

But seriously, that Cato piece is decently short – 3 paragraphs, one of which was posted above – and well worth the read.
