I'd love to hear about all the other options, however. It is interesting to note that many of the options that might have been available in Iran vanished with the war in Iraq. In fact I would say that the push to develop nuclear power, and perhaps arms, came after the invasion of Iraq. Perhaps the moves by Iran are purely defensive in nature. Remember they were listed as one of the triad of the Axis of Evil by the most powerful nation in the world. They then witness one of the "triad" being bumped off next door...and suddenly they get pretty intent on their nuclear program. Now who's fault is that? Who's been putting the pressure on who? I dunno, call me stupid, but when the school yard bully starts to throw his weight around, some small fry who get fed up with being pushed around usually gets his hands on an equalizer one way or another. Nuclear arms are one avenue. But there are literally thousands of ways to strike. Bottom line is that when roads of cooperation are built, there is less chance of the walls of war being constructed. Bush has not been able to find the kind of words that foster cooperation and trust. All he has said is evil, fear, terror and war. It would be far better to seek common ground. This has been pretty successful in dealing with communist China for example. Why shouldn't a policy of mutual benefit and cooperation be sought with Iran? War is a better answer there simply because we have a better chance of winning it in Iran or Iraq than in China? Seems to me that once you get down to a level of guerilla warfare and a deeply entrenched insurgency you pretty much get to a stalemate. Only those that are willing to be oppressed in the end will be. Iraqis have proven to be very brave and resilient. What drives people to go against democracy and freedom like that?????? Orca
