#1 There is wealth aplenty pouring into Iran and Iraq through oil that is sold at a high price in a world market whose sanctity is ultimate protected by the United States.

With a Canadian citizen raped, tortured and murdered by Iranian state agents it seems to me Canada could make a killing licensing privateers to commandeer Iranian tanker traffic. This provided, of course, the United States Navy found it had better things to do than guarantee the safety of tonnage in service to a people who cry "Death to America."

#2 I don't understand the conditional sense of the question. We've already stumbled; the question is whether we'll bother getting back up.

In all of these places, radical leaders such as a Ahmadinejad, Nasrallah, or Sadr--the same thug has a thousand faces that come and go as we saw with Zarqawi, Saddam, and Arafat--are, like the Sultan and Grand Vizier of old, as fascinated with the West as they despise it.

Anyone else think "The Thug of a Thousand Faces" would make a great title for a book?
