RE: IRAN

This little tidbit here isn't likely to make you any more comfortable, Mark.

Moore raises MANY good points about the failure of European diplomacy as regards religious fanatics, et al..

But on the tip of his pen is another point he doesn't QUITE make, but implies:

It's often a criticism of Bush that Iraq "distracted" from the GWOT.

But aren't the media "guilty" of the same thing by criticizing Iraq to the extent of ignoring everything else? Important things? VEERRRRY important things?

In all, I think this is the scariest thing we've seen so far, perhaps in our lifetimes. I have no doubt the Israelis sense their very existence is on the line and they are making plans.
