MBC - surely you can't be serious? 12 years of cease fire violations, over a dozen UN resolutions unabided by.....no patience? Go ahead and disagree with the invasion - I have no problem with that. But to say no patience? And lest someone say "NO WMD!!! NO WMD!!!", we would have known that should the cease fire agreements have been adhered to and inspectors were allowed to go wherever, whenever, with no notice of arrival upon a given site.

Nothing but criticism no matter what.....not patient enough with Iraq, too patient with Iran. Sheesh. I have no doubt that should some sort of action be taken against their nuclear sites many here would jump on the administration for violating their sovereignty.

I have oft been accused of blind partisanship. While I do not accuse any here of blind partisanship, as most of those here critical of Bush are not huge Dem supporters, but there is clearly an attitude that whatever is done, no matter what it is, is not the right thing to do.

Diplomacy is an interesting thing. For anyone who pays attention, it is clear that the internal situation in Iran is bubbling on it's own toward revolution. With two new democracies nearby (brand new and not yet stable, but there nonetheless), it is likely that with some covert assistance Iran will solve itself.
