Our intrepid Pan Am correspondent from Florida, Carlos W, has some thoughts on the current Iranian mess, backdated about a week or so. See here for full details.

The rub of it is that I can't make heads or tails of what to believe. While yes, I believe that the Islamic Republic's leaders have been compounding interest on a whippin' since 1979, I'm also not eager to jump into another war in that worthless region of the planet. I also don't believe in the value of sanctions or "the international community expressing its concern".

Therefore, I share what Carlos views as our policymakers' potential mindset:

[N]ervous because they really don't have any good options with Iran, and don't know what to do about the situation.

This means that I am happy to hear the occasional report that the nominal political head of the Islamic Republic may have talked himself into a hole. One can only hope.
