A couple of weeks ago, the Wall Street Journal published Mideast Scholar Bernard Lewis's op-ed piece suggesting that Iranian President Ahmadinejad might commit some kind of catastrophic mischief, such as launching nuclear weapons, on August 22.
Lewis said this might be so because that's the anniversary of Mohammed's journey from Mecca to Jerusalem. (Makes sense, doesn't it?)
As it turns out, instead of attacking anyone, Iran announced it was going to "resume negotiations with the group of 5+1," much to the disappointment of folks like John Bolton and Lewis, who are looking for any excuse to invade Iran and get the US stuck in another horrifically wasteful, deadly, and unjustified foreign occupation.
I'm curious to learn what Bernard Lewis's reaction to today's non-event was. Did he make a statement?
