The Tehran Connection

At NRO Online, Michael Ledeen looks at the current developments in the Middle East and sees one common factor: Iran. His argument sums up nicely:

You cannot escape the mullahs. You must either defeat them or submit to their terrible vision. There is no other way.

I've been following Ledeen's drum beat on Iran for some time and while I don't think the threads of Jihad tie quite so neatly around the mullahs' necks, I do agree that Tehran is one very thick cable of the threat that very badly needs to be severed.
