Things Keeping Me Up Nights

From a dean at Princeton, a mainstream foreign policy specialist, advisor to presidential candidates, all-around non-conspiracy theorist:

Here is my nightmare. The Cheneyites succeed in creating a situation in which Bush does decide to bomb Iran. Iran retaliates, as they openly threaten to do, with terrorist attacks against us on U.S. soil. That tilts the election. I can imagine a Karl Rove political calculation that would buttress a Cheney-Addington national security calculation, probably with Eliot Abrams' support.

I do not find it soothing when my paranoia is echoed in daylight hours, among sane, intelligent people who know lots lots more than I do.
