Bomb, bomb, bomb Iran

An Israeli minister has had to eat his intemperate words. Israel is backtracking on the threat to nuke Iran if the US won't do it. And the US for all the bluster it can command ain't. In the last few months of the Bush administration and if the world is lucky the defeat of John McCain the Dr. Strangloves of the US will be sent backing to Texas and Arizona and America's lunatic fringe chastened and defanged for a good quarter century at least. Teheran is getting away with bravado and chest thumping, which Saddam Hussein couldn't. The US is stuck in Iran and in deep dodo as Herr Bush's pappy liked to say, and the US is much the weaker for its adventurist foreign policy. So mini mice of Iran can tweak Herr Bush's tail, and he can roar like the rest and is not in a position to do much than shout and scream and look like Jack Oakey's Mussolini in a Chaplin film. McCain should know better, but he doesn't, so hungry is he that he's willing to let the lunatic right of the US to screw him royally up his arse. And so it goes the age of jackals is fading...let's fervently hope and the world will be better for it.
