Even the ISG admits that "our limited contacts with Iran's government lead us to believe that its leaders are likely to say they will not participate in diplomatic efforts to support stability in Iraq." So how can we possibly persuade the Iranians to help?
Never fear, there is an answer. Agence France-Presse reports:
Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has warned Western leaders to follow the path of God or "vanish from the face of the earth.
These oppressive countries are angry with us . . . a nation that on the other side of the globe has risen up and proved the shallowness of their power," Ahmadinejad said in a speech in the northern town of Ramsar, the semi-official news agency Mehr reported Wednesday.
"They are angry with our nation. But we tell them 'so be it and die from this anger.' Rest assured that if you do not respond to the divine call, you will die soon and vanish from the face of the earth," he said.
Get right with God and the mullahs will be eating out of our hands. Yes, it's that simple! Here's hoping that in the first 100 hours of the new Congress, Speaker Pelosi introduces the Response to the Divine Call Act of 2007.
