No, no, wait, stick around for a second -- the diary you are about to read is not another "We’re attacking Iran on April 6" diary.
Let me begin by saying that, frankly, I have no idea whether the cruise missiles start raining down on Tehran and Isfahan and Natanz on April 6, 2007, on November 1, 2008, on January 19, 2009, or never -- although I sincerely hope it’s the latter.
But I submit that no intellectually serious person can honestly say that the odds of the U.S. and/or Israel launching an attack on Iran in the remaining 665 days of the Bush Administration are so trivial as to not be worth wasting our beautiful minds worrying about.
Having said that, please keep reading even if I just insulted you by calling you intellectually unserious or dishonest, because even if you think there's no chance we'll attack, this diary is for you too -- and you ought to have no problem making the commitment I'm going to ask of you.
Follow me on the flip.
