I'd long ago thought it had been conclusively proven Iran was providing significant supplies to back the insurgency in Iraq. However, it seems a lot of people out there still don't believe it. Well, don't listen to me, listen to him.

One of the more basic rules of warfare is, "when things are going badly, don't open another front to fix them."* Therefore it seems to me unwise to start bombing the crap out of Iran, no matter how richly they deserve it. However, if this doesn't constitute a clarion call for increased sanctions by the international community, I'm not sure what else would. With the change in administration in France, perhaps the time is right for another Security Council push?

* It's just possible the administration didn't violate this by opening a front in Iraq with an unsettled Afghanistan. At the time, as I recall, the major portion of that conflict had ended. At any rate, the insurgency there has never seemed to be as violent and energetic as that in Iraq.

But it's only just possible. Others, I'm sure, will vociferously disagree.
