Well in addition to getting the Iraqi WMD threat wrong, it looks like the Bush Administration (and Europeaners to be fair) slipped up by allowing the Iranians get dangerously close to getting the bomb.
The problem is what to do. I thought the Deal given by UK, France, Germany and Italy to more than fair, and the Iranians rejected it outright and broke the seals off the uranium refining plant. To me this signifies that this that the new Iranian government has the sole intension of becoming a nuclear power. Iran has also threatened to drive up oil costs and unleash new terrorism in places like Irqa, Lebabon, Isreal and Syria.
The West seems to favor dialogue but I dont think that will work.
Iraq was never really a threat to us, but Iran has been since 1979. Iran sponsors terrorism throughout the world, it already has medium range ICBMs capable of hitting Europe and is working on a long range version that could hit us.
The problem is the only military capable of dealing with the problem is bogged down in a fishing expedition. Unless someone can jolt the Europeaners into action. The problem is the Europeans are so angry at Bush they dont want the slightest thing to help him.
A real mess..
Any thoughts anyone???
