The Victoria Secrets solution..... plus cell phone and eventually internet communication will speed up the globalization process. It is still going to require many years to take effect. How far do you think the leaders in Iran are willing to go to back up their statements ?

I like the one point that Glenn Beck makes which is that we should not go too far to challenge the statements the leaders are making in Iran. We have to make our foreign policy based upon what these people are telling us today. Not sure what Mr. Beck is trying to say, but I assume it's that we shouldn't hesitate to confrong the aggressive language being used currently by these regimes, rather than just sluffing it off as the sound of "barking dogs" (as Sarman likes to refer to it). If so, I would concur. It's insane to permit someone to threaten you to your face and not take a defensive or retaliatory action. They can say they hate you, that you're scum.. the great satan.. whatever.. But the minute they threaten you, or one of your friends, then you have to take action. Belligerence spawned from inferiority complexes never subsides or mellows. For such vocalized aggression is a warning that, given the opportunity, they will seek to confront a more powerful force in order to increase their self-esteem. Hawk
