Next War Watch: Santorum Surges

Molly Ball at the Atlantic plays catchup on Rick Santorum, who's actually been in the GOP primary race since 1997. This stood out for me:
Santorum is an extreme Iran hawk, arguing that tough action, likely military, is needed to prevent Iran from getting a nuclear weapon. In effect, he says, the U.S. has been at war with Iran since 1979, and regime change will be necessary to ensure the country is no longer a threat. Santorum has been pounding this drum for some time. In 2005, he authored a bill to put $10 million toward Iran regime change.
