Rattling sabers in Washington does not help.

And Ahmadinejad's saber rattling IS??

From his public rhetoric, it would seem that he's painting himself in a corner that he can't easily extract himself from via some "reconciliation" process with the US. For him, it's "do or die", and all or nothing... That doesn't leave much for discussion, except should we speak with political rivals to Ahmadinejad.

Remember Munich, where Chamberlain went to Hitler, after Nazi Germany had invaded the Sudetenland of Czechoslovakia, and brought back "peace for our time":

Will the Shi'ites of Iraq become the new version of the Sudetenland as Iran's fanatical rulers cast they eyes upon controlling the Iraqi holy sites of Shi'ism (and not to forget.. the oil)?
