What The Mullahs Learned From Their Neighbor

The first order of business, not clearly stated herein is to get our 'allies' clean and honest in their mid-east dealings. The French, Germans and Chinese (I don't have any information about Japan) were up to their eyeballs in the Oil for Food scam, their holding of a large amount of Iraqi debt and major suppliers to the illicit Iraqi dealings in WMD. If they are at it again in Iran, that has to stop before any of the author's suggestions will work.

At some point the facts will be on the table and our 'allies' will have to answer for their selfish, charade. If the Europeans are serious, they'll put troops in the Middle East along with Britain and France. The 'old' Europeans need to clean up their act.

How Bush deals with all this, probably with a new Secretary of State, will be fascinating. The 'old' European leaders may not like Bush, but they have to deal with him and the realities in the Muslim world. Their tendency is appeasement and that just won't work.
