>>... if this were an abstract game of chess, whose color would you choose -- the US or Iran?

Bush knows his position will only weaken over time.

The analogy is the British/French in 1933 - 34 -35. Hitler could have been stopped easily at that time, perhaps without bloodshed.

At this time (1 - 2 yr window) Iran can be stopped -- at great cost -- but it can be stopped. IMHO it would require nukes. Perhaps more than one.

At great cost:

1. Would make US pariah.
2. Would totally destroy US$
3. Could create lots of pissed off folks down wind.

But would effectively remove bomb from Iranian religious wacko set.

Only question: Does bush have power and inclination to do this?

I think he has the inclination.
