Hopefully, we won’t have to go “ON TO IRAN.” I find the apparent enthusiasm for attacking Iran displayed on those signs disturbing. Hopefully Douglas Feith did not submit any sign ideas.

If Nancy-Girl would allow a vote on drilling, with a following vote in the Senate, we could enjoy Iran’s loss of nuke funding as the price of oil dropped. Repealing the Carter-era exec. order against assassinations would be nice, too. After all, the order did not stop Saddam from trying to kill GHW Bush. We should have that option, as well.

I wouldn't gamble our national security on the Iranians running out of money. That's crazy.

“Enthusiasm” has to be part of our bargaining chip. If our enemies think that we are carring a limp stick, we are lost before we start.

Just a note about counter-protest posters in general:

For many of these folks, there is a fine line between carrying a poster that explicitly details how you feel about an issue, and carrying a sign for the sole purpose of pissing-off liberals.

One of my favorites from long ago was “Iron My Shirt B!atch”. While I’m sure the fellow who raised that sign at a feminist rally truly appreciated a fine crease, I doubt he brought his laundry expecting full-service.

The sign choice a person makes depend on their passion, their politics and even their sense of humor.

It's not going to drop *that much*. In fact, over the medium haul, I expect we'll be doing well to keep it around $100, probably a bit more. They'll still have plenty of petro-euros to fund their nuke program.
