Fareed Zakaria is absolutely right about the prevailing nuttiness with regard to Iran.
UPDATE: To those commenters who want to know when I’m going to join the campaign against Ahmadinejad-inflation and Iran-warmongering, the fact is I’ve been banging this drum for at least a year, most recently in this column. I linked to Fareed’s column because (a) it’s excellent and (b) I was thrilled that he seems to be in the same place on this issue as I am.
ps–I’ve been trying to some thread-cleansing this morning…but I really wish the folks at Time.com would, finally, bring us the promised disinfectant regime.
