Every nation, in every region, now has a decision to make. Either you are with us, or you are with the terrorists. (Applause.) From this day forward, any nation that continues to harbor or support terrorism will be regarded by the United States as a hostile regime. - President George W. Bush - 9/20/2001
I guess it was all just a bunch of talk. I actually believed him. Iran is blatantly sponsoring the insurgency in Iraq and terrorism elsewhere and is gearing up to become a significant threat to the entire world. Are we going to wipe out the "hostile regime" in Iran? Not according to the Baker report that is about to come out which calls for us to sit down and talk to Adolph Ahmadinejad. And I think that Bush is going to do just that. Neville Chamberlain would approve.

If I was POTUS I would go to Iran which would seem to the rest of the world we are willing to talk. Then I privately would tell the Supreme Ayatollah to pound sand and that if this insurgency doesn't stop, we will fully invade and if Congress doesn't allow a full war, that at least a limited bombing that would destroy all the arms factories and nuclear facilities and oil fields.
