I don't see why Bush is so concerned. He could just sit back, gain some points in the oh-so-important "world opinion" by pursuing diplomatic means of halting Iran's nuclear weapons program, and let us deal with Ahmedinejad. We would/will, after all - and probably more effectively than America could.
not surprising, but then bush won't get a good political spin out of it!
either way, i would be concerned if bush started throwing nukes about like confetti, didn't einstein say something about not knowing how WWIII will be fought, but rather how WWIV will be fought?
surely the US has some viable non-nuclear options if they decided to go "the whole hog" on this.. but of course, i'm forgetting, bush has his forces divided between afghanistan, and iraq, that's two fronts right there, and now shaking a trifoil-emblazoned fist at iran?.. that would make a third front... didn't somebody say that they'd haveta be in a kingdom of idiots to fight a war on several fronts?
i do say, however, that israel would be more than equipped to handle such a thing without clouds of radioactive dust lingering afterwards, i remember hearing how saddam was more afraid of the Israeli army, than the US. (i could be wrong), so they're well and truely capable of handling themselves in a pinch (guess you should know, sandy).
