#1 Nice warm up act , Hamid. Ready to negotiate anything that's not negiotiable? UN bought 8 days to the 31st to dither, but the 8 days may only be on the calendar.

#2 Iran needs to learn that they're not the beginning and end of the world. I'd like to see a multifaceted response to Iran's crap - B-52s, B-1s, B-2s, ship-, submarine- and aircraft-launched cruise missiles, Navy and Air Force multirole aircraft pounding targets, some AC-130 and A-10 gunfire, and about 200,000 US, Iraqi, British, Polish, and Czech troops on the ground, with more being raised back at home. Lots of napalm, willie-pete, cluster-bombs, JDAMS, MOABS, and whatever else we can stir up. I'd LOVE to have had a half-dozen BBs to target shoreline targets, especially in the Persian Gulf, but we gave up that option for more carriers. I'm beginning to believe the "end of the Battleship" was a grave mistake - they still have a role to play in modern warfare.
