| Iran has blamed the United States for Sunday's suicide bombing in Sistan-Balochistan province in which six Iranian Revolutionary Guards Corps commanders were killed, as well as 37 other people. In an indirect way, the charge is true. No one in Washington these days would dream of blowing up Iranian officials, to be sure. America's abdication of its position as the world's sole superpower, though, will make incidents of this sort routine. Without America to mediate, scold and restrain, each of the small powers in the region has no choice but to test its strength against the others. That is why the major players in the region resemble a troupe of manic Morris dancers in a minefield.

| #5 Beso, There you go calling Obama a Nazi and stuff like that. And you must be a racist, what with that South African name and all. (channeling a typical liberal) |

| #4 g(r)om: Due to a hellish crash on the autobahn yestereday, I had to detour past Dachau in route to Franz Josef Strauss International Airport. Nothing like motoring by that place to bring on a sense of man's capacity for hate and inhumanity. Few admitted to being part of that affair after the war. I dare say few will admit to having voted for Barry when his last chapter is written either. |

| #2 Spengler thinks that Obama, regardless of his Chi credentials, is anti-American third worder working to bring the Great Satan to its knees. I'm on record at 'burg saying "Obama's election = foreign conquest of USA". Of course, like Spengler, I'm an outsider (trees, forrest)---most of you still frame the problem in Trunks-Dem conflict terms. p.s. That's why I get so enthused over every news item indicating some Democrats beginning to fear Obama. |
