hey, I agree with you on this one, so I don't deserve the flame<g>...

but I suppose the author, if asked, would say that (1) lots of things could happen between now and then, and so time might conceivably solve the problem for us short of war, and (2) with nukes he may be no easier to contain or ignore, but no harder either--that is, he would dispute your assumption that the present situation is so untenable or so likely to worsen dramatically as to make a preventive war attractive.

and hey, the folks on the other side generally found the Ajami piece unpersuasive too...
