Before W got his war in Iraq, the line among the faithful was that Iraq was this wonderful secret secular nation, just waiting to worship the US after Saddam was gone. Now the same neocon fantasy is being constantly peddled about Iran. If W follows up on all the neocon drum pounding on Iran, it's likely that the mess he made in Iraq will look tame by comparison. You might want to look up what the '79 oil shock did to the US and world economy for reference.

Apparently Amadinejad is unpopular at the moment and may be out of office in a few months. But even if he's not, so be it. We should tone down the rhetoric and engage Iran as much as possible diplomatically, economically and culturally. At the same time we should pursue diplomatic efforts to prevent their nuclear armament. Also I'd like to see this admin. be truthful as to what Amadinejad has actually been saying re the Holocaust. The Bushies are trying to whip up public anger toward Iran based on half truths. Nothing good ever comes from that.
