Iran and The Washington Post

The Post argues that the Bush Administration should use diplomacy with Iran, " That, and not secret military plans, is the missing component of U.S. strategy right now. " but should diplomacy fail and the government in Iran not listen to the UN and the EU, then the President as Commander in Chief will have to take action, he cant wait for 100 Senators who want to be President and over 230 Democrats who have never gotten over 2000 Election to see the problem. The President is in the same position as Reagan, the elite media and Democrats wanted to talk to the USSR deal with them as equals, Reagan had one aim, the West would win and the USSR would be on the rubbish tip. In the end Reagan is seen as a great President, Bush will have to deal with Iran, being weak and cool does not get you any where in International Politics. Reagan was a great President it is time for Bush to show his colours when it comes to Iran.

Faulty Politics

The Campaigns of Edwards and Obama and their early problems show why starting a campaign season in February is a massive joke, and worse bad politics, the only people showing interest are political geeks like Views and the Press, the rest of the population will start to take an interest at the end of the year and the really sane lot will decided in January when they vote in the early elections. Hillary Clinton with the Master of Politics at her side is keeping a centre ground to her campaign, if she goes to far to the left she will win the nomination that is for sure but will lose badly in the general election. All these early polls are daft, Gore could still come in, if Iraq goes belly up. At the moment John McCain is trailing Giuliani but if the surge works this could benefit McCain, a former POW in Vietnam. The Show has just started, still some time for it to run, another two years, God help Us!!
