On the one hand, virtually all of the political left (and the isolationist wing of the right) are desperate to avoid another war in the Muslim world or anything approximating it. There are many reasons for this desperation, ranging from the rough sledding in Iraq to an intense desire to refocus on domestic policy to the fear that even speaking directly about Iran's war against the U.S. will create "excess demand" for military action.
What about "because we think such a war will be an absolute catastrophe?" Is that not an option? Meanwhile, Tigerhawk is part of the "war for peace" crowd -- if we don't aid George W. Bush's attempts to credibly threaten war with Iran now, we'll be forced to actually go to war later. Where have I heard that before? Oh yeah.
