Norm brings up a question asked by Peter Beinart on Twitter:

Why indeed, dear Peter? And how, precisely, it matters?

Stalin and Mao, IIRC, were preoccupied with carving up the home folks. Iran, like Hitler, is rather more focused on the outside world.
True, but still it doesn't bring us closer to the Beinart's mind...
