Does anyone wish to hazard a prediction on what will happen to all of this anti-Iranian posturing a year from now once Bush is dethrowned, assuming etc.

In the end, might makes right. Nothing has changed since the caveman.

Once Bush is throned out of the thrown, things might be much the same depending on who wins. In fact, since I believe Bush is a symptom and the problem is systemic and bipartisan, unless a radical reformer gets into the White House the goal will remaing the same, just possibly with a more diplomatic face.

The problem with nuclear Iran is not Iran, but the over-the-top reactions it provokes in Washington.

Thus nuclear Iran is a security issue, but not the one everybody thinks - or pretends to talk about. Again, I'll repeat my theory that the real game on Iran and nuclear is containment of the current US administration.

Come 2009, the topic will still exist, but will (hopefully) make a lot fewer headlines.
