Today in Just Plain Stupid

From none of than that man of staunch, steadfast principle (depending on which way the wind is blowing), Sen. Lindsay Graham:

I don't know what's in the water in Washington but it's making people insane:

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) said this week that a war with North Korea would be “worth it” in the long term.

Graham made the comments in an interview with CNN.

"All the damage that would come from a war would be worth it in terms of long-term stability and national security," the senator told CNN.

The only one who would come out of a war with North Korea with anything intact would be Vladimir Putin. And "long-term stability"? Yeah, I guess piles of smoking radioactive rubble are stable.

It's worth reading the whole post -- a completely unsettling outline of what would be involved and what the likely result would be. For starters, just forget South Korea as a viable entity.
