Jerry Pournelle’s always worth listening to, and no less with this post. A sample:
Newt Gingrich and others are calling it World War III. By definition, it cannot be a World War unless the United States is actively involved. Should we be in this war? The question is, what is the national interest of the United States, and what is our best way of protecting that interest?
…The Bush Doctrine says that any nation that protects and harbors terrorists who attack the United States is an enemy of the United States and can be a target for US military action. That is the primary Bush Doctrine, and I think nearly every reader here will accept that.
An extension of the Bush Doctrine is that planting democracies will further world stability and be detrimental to terrorism. That is a secondary Bush Doctrine, and I for one do not accept it…
It’d profit you much to read the whole thing. There’s more including some contributions from a reader on the Wegman Report—a bombshell exploding upside da head of global warmists… Hint: the “hockey stick” is dead, dead, dead.

I don’t think they are going to let us not be involved. I know it’s a rope-a-dope, but I think Iran is achin’ for us to get into it and I’m afraid they are going to do something to force our hand.
It’s like you can feel it in the wind.
