North Korea has made some profit off terrorism but Iran has a history of funding and supporting terrorist groups and that includes training them and providing them with arms. North Korea with nuclear weapons scares people but they are isolationist who are mostly concerned with keeping their little fiefdom intact and keeping their grip on their population while Iran is a eager to be a player in regional not to mention international politics. Sorry but I don’t think his arguments are valid even when you use the “it most be right because it isn’t what Sarah Palin wants” argument.
His comment that "such talk is in the air again" is really the main point of that paragraph. It's not about her. At any rate, there are quite a few good arguments in that article, mainly that "war to look tough" is not the answer when there are clearly many issues that would be exacerbated if we took that path. If it becomes apparent that we have to fight for real reasons, that is a different matter.
