This. http://news.telegraph.co.uk/news/mai...3/ixworld.html And this. Ummmmm yeah. Don't really know what to think about this yet. I'll talk to my International Relations professor what he thinks today... Iran is a sticky situation. My question is what would other countries do? Would this only be a US effort? Theres no doubt this is more justifiable than the whole Iraq thing. Theyre admitting to their program, and its very obvious. Oh, and their leader is a NUTCASE. Id say more delusional than Saddam. Byeah. |

The neoconservative crowd that is in charge in Washington are also nuts. According to a former CIA analyst who worked with George H. W. Bush, Wolfowitz and his associates were refered to as the "crazies" in H W's administration.
The Isreali defense minister sent the message to Ahmadenajad that history shows what happens to those who try to exterminate the Jewish people. Unless Iran backs down, this one looks like it is only a matter of time. |

There is no doubt that Iran is scary. I contend that there are some policy makers in Washington who are also scary. I think a good case can be made that because of the current administration's Mid East foreign policy, Ahmadinejad is in power in Iran.

I think you would be hard pressed to find evidence supporting such a notion. Iran has been hostile towards the US for quite some time now. The face of the new regime should not surprise anyone who has followed what Iran has stood for during the last 20 or so years. What other nation on the planet has had the balls to take Americans from a US embassy hostage?

I agree that Iran has been hostile towards the US for some time. No doubt about it. The BBC in an article on 2/19/2005 says that it was a surprise that Ahmadinejad was in a runoff and that few expected him to do so well. The foreign minister said that Bush's comments caused people to go to the polls.
It was also surprising that Hamas did so well in the Palestinian elections. It is not unreasonable to suspect that the hard line policies of the current administration in the Middle East has helped these extreme regimes to come to power. |
