There's a lot of truth in that article. After 9/11, I also was a little surprised to see that Iran was making symptathetic gestures to the US and was even more suprised when Bush didn't take any one of the many openings that the Iranians gave us to pursue at least a thawing of relations. Then with the axis of evil speech, he essentially declared war on Iran. That and all of the other events in the Middle East, and the election of Ahmenedijad, pretty much ended any possibilities of a thaw any time soon with Iran. So I agree with much that is in that article and will openly say, as I have always said, that Bush doesn't have a diplomatic bone in his body, which is why this country is disliked by every other country except the UK and Israel at this moment in our history.

Having said all that, I'm not willing to let Iran get a nuclear bomb, just because we have an idiot for a President. If the price for Bush being inept at diplomacy leads to a need to bomb Iran to ensure they don't get the nukes, then so be it. It's a tragedy because there were multiple diplomatic openings that Bush scuttled, but pretending that we can let Iran get nukes is compounding Bush's mistakes by an order of magnitude.
