George Will: Some Believe in the Tooth Fairy, Others in ‘the International Community’

George Will On International Community: "It's A Fiction" (RealClearPolitics)

GEORGE WILL: Our military is rightly leery of making a gesture; they're not in the gesture business. And they have a feeling that's what they would be doing. Throwing -- lobbing cruise missiles, these standoff weapons, into a country to make us, what, feel or look good? The president on CNN this week said, the use of gas is going to require America's attention and hopefully the entire international community's attention. Now, some people believe in the Tooth Fairy, the Easter Bunny, Santa Claus, the Loch Ness Monster, others believe in the international community -- it's a fiction.

WILL: Iran is watching this. That's the big thing. Iran is watching this little dance of deadlines and red lines and they're deciding it doesn't mean a thing.
