Iran 2006a
I fail to see a course of action for Iran that is either rational or optimal within the contraints we have placed ourselves in. The USA can act, Israel can act, the rest dance and sing.
The blowback for Israeli action, even if it were to be mostly effective, will sink what we are doing in Iraq. The bigger enemy here is not Iran it is the BDS, Bush deranged, left and its EUnuchstanian sycophants. They pulled out the pin believing the grenade was a prop...in their magnificent, but unappreciated, theatre.
What the American and EUnuchstanian left see as theatre has the potential to make the trenches of WWI and the near allied loss in WWII seem like glow in the dark regret.
After WW2 the easy thing would have been to abandon Berlin to our Soviet allies....
The Berlin wall defined, as all walls should, two sides. The 'cute and silly' Iranian thingy is a similar wall dividing left and right.
Cat Stevens a.k.a. Yusuf Islam saw it first:
---I'm wrong, Chapin wrote Cat's Cradle. So much for believing the ID tags of stolen MP3's. I cannot express how pleased I am when I'm shown to be wrong. +9000 from me, I need more air---
He came from college just the other day------------------------
So much like a man I just had to say
"Son Im proud of you, can you sit for a while?"
He shook his head, and he said with a smile
"What Im feeling like dad, is to borrow the car keys
See you later, can I have them please?"

arthur - appreciate all your thoughts. I am much like you amazed and dismayed at reaction of the post 9/11 liberals. For me 9/11 wasn't a tragedy - it was such an obvious declaration of war - a war that our news organizations and schools seem to want to deny - or blame on the US. I have a Romanian pal - he's got a wide perspective and comments that while Europe was passing through all its glory stages of the renaissance, reformation and enlightenment Romania was taking it in the shorts from the Turks. Point being Europe has been diddling around with violent Islam for a long time and believes even now that it can diddle its way through the current mess (by blaming the US, et al). Anyway I feel a kindred spirit and cheers -
DA
once i had a dream, that worried me
like a drunken guillotine
lingering just above my head
why, why, why, why?
why was i born "the nine"
cursed repeatedly
who would know if i should die.
no one needed me
doo doo doo doo doo
dark and empty was the place to which i'd come
cold and silent was the house my name was on
nine rooms and a tomb in every one
s'dark and empty was the place to which i'd come
all at once my bones began to change
i was tall and young again,
sweet as rain falling on the snow
who, who, who, who?
who is he, who am i, and
what laid in between?
how can i say goodbye? no one let me in
can't see no need for nine no more
now it's too late to open the door.
i was once like you are now, and i know that it's not easy,
to be calm when you've found something going on.
but take your time, think a lot,
why, think of everything you've got.
for you will still be here tomorrow, but your dreams may not.
