Regime Change the New "Realism" in Iran

That doesn't even come from me. That comes from this Oped in the Washington Post.

Still, by now it ought to be clear that the best chance to protect what Mr. Obama calls "core U.S. security interests" lies in a victory for the Iranian opposition. That may look unlikely for now. But it is considerably more probable than a turn toward detente by those now engaged in murdering young women. There may not be much that can be done to help the opposition, though some tangible steps -- more money for broadcasting into the country, for example -- are readily available.

Obama not interested in "core U.S. security interests" - otherwise why cut missile defense by billions and release terrorists from Gitmo? Obama is interested in his own ego - and he has invested a huge amount of it in demonstrating he can make a "deal" with the Mullahs.

Next time Ahmedinajad makes a peep about the Jews, it will be time for Israel to take out their nukes.

After Iran’s election, the Mullahs have no legitimacy. The leftist world press will still howl, but Israel will have more support than it has for such an action.
