#2 Well said. So when are we going to end this or are we going to play this game until the nation state of Iran aquires the weapons and the mullas use it on us? It is only a matter of time before they get the capability, build or steal, and when they do they will use it. If there was ever an arguement for a preemptive strike this is it.

#3 He understood at that moment that mankind's moral capacity would have to expand to match its technical prowess or it would perish.

Iran is the epitomy of technical prowess outstripping moral capacity.

#4 "So when are we going to end this or are we going to play this game until the nation state of Iran aquires the weapons and the mullas use it on us?"

There's times when I wonder, "What the fuck are we doing? Why are we continuing to screw around with Iran and the EU and the UN in this pointless, stupid dance which will NEVER accomplish anything?"

And there's also times when I'm convinced that Bush is NOT going to prevent the MMs from going nuclear (in part because he's hemmed in politically here at home).

But there are also times when I remind myself that Bush has said, absolutely and positively, that the MMs will NOT be permitted to acquire nuclear weapons, PERIOD.

And the safest bet, I figure, is that he means it.

Faster, please...
