The New Math

I look forward to Friday, not because it's the start of the weekend (I work most Saturdays) but because it's Victor Davis Hanson day at NRO. And this Friday, like most, fails to disappoint:

So far the Iranian president has posed as someone 90-percent crazy and 10-percent sane, hoping we would fear his overt madness and delicately appeal to his small reservoirs of reason. But he should understand that if his Western enemies appear 90-percent children of the Enlightenment, they are still effused with vestigial traces of the emotional and unpredictable. And military history shows that the irrational 10 percent of the Western mind is a lot scarier than anything Islamic fanaticism has to offer.

10% > 90%

Mark it down, it's the only time it will ever make sense.
