Second Chances

How about because Iran is nothing remotely resembling a democracy? How about because Iran's ruling oligarchy is determinedly anti-US, and thus likely in any case to oppose our interests, whatever they may be? These would seem reason enough for us at least to view Iran's actions with a jaundiced eye, and take measures to counter them.

And of course, anything that gouges an undemocrat's eye is good for democracy. It keeps the undemocrats helpless, and that is what the real democrats want.
