Normalizing the conversation about attacking Iran

Far more than the actual rhetoric from the administration regarding attacking Iran, I'm watching the tone of the coverage.

I don't know if anyone's noticed lately, but the conversation has subtly shifted into a different framing. The question has shifted from "Should the US attack Iran?" to "Will the US attack Iran?"

The latter presumes that all criteria of justification and forethought have already been met. Once the conversation is on that ground, it's a very different debate.
