…fight devolves into a war of extermination.

I have absolutely no problem with nuking Iran as a first step example of what will happen to the rest of them unless they grow up. GulfNews editoral tonight agrees that “bombing” (they can’t bring themselves to use the “n” word) Iran’s peaceful nuclear facilities is an increasing likelihood, but the Arab editors think it will be before the election so Bush can claim credit. Which is another indictor that Arabs simply do not understand the political process.

John Bolton and I think it will be after the election and before the inauguration.
