Who’s Next?

Tom Lehrer had this great song in the 60’s called “Who’s Next?”, when he was telling about the race for the atomic bomb. Seymour Hersch in the New Yorker answers the question: Iran. At least according to his (unknown) sources telling about the White House next military plans.

So where do we stand on this? 4 responses, but really 1 and a half option:

“There were four possible responses to this Iranian activity, the European official said: to do nothing (“There would be no retaliation to the Iranians for their attacks; this would be sending the wrong signal”); to publicize the Iranian actions (“There is one great difficulty with this option—the widespread lack of faith in American intelligence assessments”); to attack the Iranians operating inside Iraq (“We’ve been taking action since last December, and it does have an effect”); or, finally, to attack inside Iran.”
