That's Democracy

This is often my response when something seemingly wrong happens in our government. It's also true for those that I believe are right. It is said, "We get the government we deserve." The truth is, our government is set up like this for a reason. Checks and balances, for good or bad, made America great.

Instapundit on Iran:

Everyone says that a nuclear-armed Iran is intolerable, but they mostly seem inclined to tolerate it rather than actually do anything, and even mild suggestions about doing anything are treated as beyond the pale. The likely consequence of this squeamishness and sloth, of course, is that when things come to a head more people will die than if we took effective action now. But that's likely to be beyond the next election cycle, which puts it beyond the time horizon of most politicians.
