One of the reasons for our war with Iraq and having it work well was to accomplish the goal of bringing Iran back into the civilized world through the decisions of the Iranian people. If they do it on their own it will be much better for everyone than if we try to conquer them. A large portion of the Iranian people would like closer ties with the west and our military success can demonstrate that Iran can gain nothing through war. Our willingness to allow the Iraqi people to establish their own government and benefit from their trade with the U.S. can show that Iran also has something to gain from trading with us.

Iran's leaders are in a heated debate over how to deal with the U.S. success in shattering Saddam Hussein's regime in neighboring Iraq. Many fear Iran - listed with Iraq and North Korea as part of President George W. Bush's "axis of evil" - could be next on America's target list.

How thoughtful! :)

A can of whoop-ss is always the best diplomacy. Thank you President Bush!

The Great Satan is going to kick your butts if you dont get in order : )


We have heard for many many years that the only thing these "people" understand is force and power....

The comments coming out of the Arab street since Wednesday should not be a surprise.

However its still much worse for Chirac Putin and ilk...: )

I love it.

The Bush team are simply BRILLIANT!!

I'm sure they will be cautious.. cover all bases. But this would be exactly what the Presidents Admin would want.

Mark my words, the Bush team will not cave to these people. They will insist on democracy for Iran. As another poster stated so succinctly.. Another domino falls. Lets pray so goes the rest of the region.

Syria is resisting the message though:

Syrian FM says if U.S. attacks, Israel will also suffer as a result

So when will the good Iranians start to topple these murdering Mullahs?

It appears that the Iraq war is basically over. If Soddomite is alive he is hiding in Syria or Russia as a broken despot.

Now the good people of Iran have nothing to fear from the mass murderers of Iraq. When will the implosion in Iraq begin?
