This is a bumper sticker.
Lazy Republican pundits like Larry Elder love Bumper Stickers.
Bumper Stickers are very easy to argue with.
They always say the same thing, and their very brevity insures you can run circles around them.
Arguing with a Bumper Sticker is like boxing a wheelchair. Not a person in the wheelchair. Just a wheelchair.
So naturally that's what Elder does in his latest article.
Needless to say he invokes World War 2 to suggest that sometimes War is the answer - I'll bet that response took all of five brain cells to come up with.
The bulk of the article is about how we need to invade Iran and Syria. Seems unlikely that this view is going to really catch on, so I can see why Elder would want a bumper sticker as his opponent. Because any living person would point out we lack the means to invade Iran and Syria, we would have no international support, and our experience in Iraq has been mixed at best, a total disaster at worst.
So it's probably better that he stuck with a bumper sticker.
