As per the usual, nothing until it is too late.

So it goes.

"This naturally begs the question, now that the mask of "reform" has been removed from the Iranian face, what will the US and Europe do?"

The US and Europe will probably do nothing, but perhaps the Israelis will. Quite frankly, they have more at stake and more to lose. And you know that with a Likud Government run by Sharon they are utterly fearless as a nation.

[mississippi red-neck]

what will the US and Europe do?

We will be diplomatic.

We will talk. We will be tolerant.

We have become a nation of talkers.

We will pass a strong resolution in Congress and one in the U.N. condemning them if they hurt us.

If they really hurt us we will come down hard on them by giving them their own private state, cut out of Israel of course, and some billions of our tax dollars to make sure they have enough money for weapons to kill us with.

We must respectfully deal with them even if they are cold blooded killers.

After all we need to make sure the oil companies has access to all that oil.
