It is, as foreign policy expert Yogi Berra would put it, a case of "déjà vu all over again." But this time, the weapons of mass destruction menace is Iran. And the question for the Bush administration, struggling with a difficult and still-unfinished war of preemption against Iraq, is how to get it right the second time around.

Yea, right - you mean like Clinton "ENGAGED" North Korea???
Better yet, SQUEEZE Iran - threaten to "IRAQ-IZE" Iran; give them the choice: "have it your way," but they should also expect the inevitable consequences of that choice . . . .
Choice and accountability . . .
Funny how this word means different things to different folks. To the NYT it means talk, vent, negotiate and reconcile. To realists it means select a target and fire at will.
Do these Bozos have any idea what they're saying when they advise the Bush administration to "engage" Iran?
