Jon and I have decided to start a feature highlighting the worst column(s) we've read over the previous week.

This week we selected John Bolton's speculative analysis of what would happen if Israel attacked Iran. Bush officials have always loved to paint the world as they see it instead as it is, but this is just blind whimsy.

Money Quote:

"Many argue that Israeli military action will cause Iranians to rally in support of the mullahs' regime and plunge the region into political chaos. To the contrary, a strike accompanied by effective public diplomacy could well turn Iran's diverse population against an oppressive regime."

Really? I can see them greeting the Israelis with flowers now...
