Bush said the United States and its allies were united in insisting that Iran not develop nuclear weapons. Speaking directly to the Iranian people, Bush looked toward a different future for their country and said the United States "hopes one day to be the closest of friends with a free and democratic Iran."

You know if you think about it that is one loaded statement. What do you think it would take to make that happen? I think the best way IS to work from the inside. Bush has said that the United States supports those who wish to change their governments to a democratic society. Word to that effect, not a direct quot. SUPPORT our troops
