So, should the US “sue for peace and security,” so to speak, and get neither peace nor security?

Bush is the only one trying to convince anyone Iran has nuclear weapons ambitions...and he's been right on so many levels with Iraq, don't you think?

Sides, we cannot go around telling other nations NOT to develop nuclear weapons when we ourselves have them and supply Israel with them. We are not the gods of the world..and under Bush, we look like mean evil dictators.

Until we come in peace, we have no right to sue for anything, don't you think? We're the aggressors whose foreign policy under Bush is to strike and shock and awe nations who pose no threat...and then ask questions later. Bush has done NOTHING diplomatically with any nation.

As to extremist groups, how bout protecting our own borders against the vicious drug gangs coming in from Mexico and let the Middle east handle its own groups?
