I understand your hesitance, and agree that we need to be careful. I still think that if we were to show the gov't of Iran that we were serious about non-proliferation, yet also serious about helping them expand their economy, we would have a viable option. At the very least I think it's a tact that needs to be tried. We don't need another fight, the two we have going now are hard enough. I just think that before we commit ourselves to coming down on Iran we need to try and solve things diplomatically, and I think that we need to try something new.
If Iran really just wants the bomb we would find that out as part of the process and be able to react accordingly, and with more support from other nations around the world, without looking like the tough guy trying to enforce his rules on a sovereign nation. > -----Original Message----- > From: G Money [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Tuesday, September 26, 2006 8:21 AM > To: CF-Community > Subject: Re: Bush, Olmert Haunted By Their Military Incompetence > > That sounds great loathe, but what if China and Russia don't really want > to > help us?
