He needs to understand that we will accord Iran respect, if Iran deports itself in a manner worthy of respect. Lets encourage them in that direction. Neo.. Ahmadinejad has NO INTEREST in reconciliation with the West. It's NOT where his power base lies. His powerbase depends upon radicalizing the young adults of Iran, filling their heads with "messianic" visions of future Jihad which is Iran's responsibility to prepare the way for. On the other hand, I firmly believe there are other leaders in Iran biding their time and waiting for the eventual moment when Ahmadinejad's position is discredited and he is forced from power, humiliated.. along with his Islamo-Fascist agenda. I'm not a great fan of old colonial boundaries, I think they have caused many problems, But neither is it ideal to divide the world along the lines of "blood and soil". People have got to learn to live with one another and compromise. And that's not going to be accomplished by encouraging the world to divide along tribal and ethnic lines. Hawk
