Iran
I think I just figured it out last night after Condalisa Rice's latest response. (Sorry, don't know how to spell her name.)
Iran is behaving very logically. They are in the nutcracker between Afghanistan and Iraq and naturally feeling threatened. What do they do???? build a bomb for defence but lie about it.
If they do this quietly they might get hit quietly so they announce everything with bravado on the world stage. Seems to me that was a smart thing to do, but it shows weakness. I'm betting they'll compromise while talking tough to their own media/citizens. Put on a nice show.
The squeeze for oil is on. Everyday is more of the same on TV. $72 a barrel. Am I going to buy a car? No.
Personally I think Bush failed to grasp the moment. He could have flown to Tehran and put his arm around their president and shocked the whole world with his speech of World brotherhood and Sisterhood. He could have closed the 30 year wound between America and Iran. He could have announced 10,000 university scholarships for Iranian students in America. He doesn't have it in him. Pity. If a nobody went to Iran it would anybody listen? John Lennon we really need you back here.
