Go Haroon. I really don’t understand how people take Ferguson’s opinion seriously. His basic argument is that reasons for not going to war are bad, therefore we must go to war. Maybe we’ll all get ponies and unicorns this time.

Iran’s government has much to answer for. But the people who judged Iraq so badly, and so inhumanely, do not have the moral right to preside over that trial. That someone could so blandly suggest that we are on the “eve of creative destruction,” and that “Sunni powers” would not be offended by that, intimates a person whose denial of Muslim humanity should keep him off the newspaper page, and whose deafness to the region suggests willful ignorance.
