Those contours of big partisan splits apply to pretty much everything these days. Trump would have had trouble with MAGA had he gone further. Long article in Jewish World Review about pre-strike efforts to politic with the non-intervention faction. Ceasefire helped. It doesn't take much effort to find statements from Obama, Biden and both Clintons about not allowing Iran to have nukes so the party posture here is another example of being obsessed with the Bad Orange Man to the exclusion of forming coherent policy positions.

If you'd of asked me two months ago of the wisdom of Israel bombing the heck out of Iran followed by the US bunker busting some enrichment site, I'd of thought it crazy dangerous. Once Israel had air superiority over Tehran I changed my thinking. Just goes to show I and probably most others aren't that well informed. Trump's big bombs by the time he dropped them, were low risk and not controversial, to me anyway.

Too much partisanship on most issues.
