I was proud of the way the media have headlined this as the US opinion. "US Says Iran Not Working on Nukes" is the prevailing headline. Just underscores again that Bush Industries, Inc. is DISTINCT from the United States of America.

I like to think for myself in addition to what the government has to say. I come to the conclusion that he's got something to hide. It appears clear that Iran is trying to dominate the region on the (not so) sly. I don't care for what they are trying to do vis a vis Israel, Iraq or Syria. Now looking at the state of politics in Iran, with such religious fervor and radical anti-western sentiment in the highest corridors of power...this is a cause of concern to me, as conflicts can spread. Do I think Iran should be invaded by anyone, no. Do I think they should be isolated, perhaps. Do I think there needs to be major changes within the Iranian government, yes. Do I think a nuclear weaponized Iran is intolerable? At this point in their history, yes.
