    Sympathy for the conned, contempt for the conman.

    Megyn Kelly, of course, is in the latter category.

        I don’t have much sympathy in my heart for them, but they aren’t going anywhere, and sympathy will pull more of them out of the bubble than contempt will.

    Yea, so in Tehran they have a fountain dyed red to commemorate the busses full of teenage boys they sent to the front lines against Iraq with suicide bombs strapped to them. Land troops in Iran will result in untold levels of bloodshed.

    The 2003 Iraq invasion and subsequent occupation resulted in somewhere between 151,000 and and 601,000 deaths.

    An invasion and occupation of Iran will be orders of magnitude bloodier for both US forces and Iranian civilians.
