More War, Thank God for Glorious War

John Bolton, a man who has never seen an ounce of combat his whole life, just can't get enough Glorious War on his Fox News teevee.
Many argue that Israeli military action will cause Iranians to rally in support of the mullahs' regime and plunge the region into political chaos. To the contrary, a strike accompanied by effective public diplomacy could well turn Iran's diverse population against an oppressive regime. Most of the Arab world's leaders would welcome Israel solving the Iran nuclear problem, although they certainly won't say so publicly and will rhetorically embrace Iran if Israel strikes. But rhetoric from its Arab neighbors is the only quantum of solace Iran will get.
I've lost count of how many times Bolton has advocated more war in the Middle East, just as long as he doesn't have to do the fighting that is.
