Trump’s Sin: Conducting Foreign Policy Without Permission

Over at Instapundit, Glenn Reynolds posted an interesting message from a Facebook friend who wishes to remain anonymous. Here’s the relevant part:

    Following the death of Soleimani, it seems like nearly the entire DC / academia / journo natsec/forpol commentariat has penned variations on exactly the same essay: the President has acted hastily, has no plan, and isn’t capable of envisioning or handling what happens next. The template was established by Ben Rhodes on Twitter a few hours after an MQ-9 Reaper shot a Hellfire missile directly into his professional legacy, and it hasn’t varied much since. . .

    What nearly the entire DC / academia / journo natsec/forpol commentariat actually means by its critique, though, is that they weren’t included in any of this.

Seems to me this entire thing is basically a re-arguing over the 2015 deal with Iran.  There is a strong contingent of the foreign policy establishment that essentially believes that appeasing/placating Iran with carrots is the best way to get them to modify their behavior.  So, they're against anything that might antagonize Iran and undo that crappy deal.  Whatever the potential merits of that POV were back in 2015, Iran has clearly ignored the carrots, and accelerated its sponsorship of terror since then.  The critics were proven right, but the supporters still won't let go of the idea that being "nice" to Iran is how you get them to do what you want.
