As we talked about Iran over lunch, Bayh took pains to underscore his awareness that the use of force is not a panacea and there will be adverse consequences to that as well. But the two-term senator and former governor also stressed, We’re talking about nuclear weapons in the hands of a state that aids and abets terrorism, with an apocalyptic and unstable leader who is also deeply hostile to us. Bayh may have been picturing what it might be like to sit in the Oval Office weighing conflicting recommendations about how to forestall a nuclear-armed ayatollah when he said with a sigh, It’s going to be a tough one. <\/em> \u00bb<\/p>\n<\/p>\n\tCette attitude tr\u00e8s belliciste trouve un \u00e9cho dans la majorit\u00e9 des \u00e9lus du parti d\u00e9mocrate. Manifestement, c’est une id\u00e9e qui pla\u00eet. Du point de vue de la tactique \u00e9lectorale, Shapiro rapporte l’id\u00e9e assez juste d’un expert : \u00ab Ray Takeyh, an Iran policy expert at the Council on Foreign Relations, is skeptical about both military action and easy rhetoric that threatens it. As Takeyh points out, the Democrats have erred tragically in the past by trying to out-hawk the Republicans. You’re replaying the JFK card, he said. In 1960, Kennedy tried to get to Nixon’s right on Cuba. The problem is that once Kennedy became president, he was locked into the Bay of Pigs invasion.<\/em> \u00bb<\/p>\n<\/p>\n\tSur le fond, il y aurait beaucoup plus \u00e0 dire (nous y reviendrons). On retrouve ici le bellicisme qui fut celui des lib\u00e9raux (aux USA en Europe) et des d\u00e9mocrates US lors de la guerre du Kosovo en 1999.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Un ph\u00e9nom\u00e8ne politique est en cours aux USA avec la crise iranienne.
