I would gather that George Bush's thoughts are to bring democracy to contries that don't want it.

It's high noon for some places and I think that after the election in Iraq and things settle down bush is going to move on Iraq or syria all of our stuff is there already. Its only a short drive as opposed to what we had to do yo get there to start with.

He believes that American military intervention in Iran would be wrong: "Iranians are not willing to buy freedom at any cost. They do not want the freedom of an American general marching in. It is a matter of national pride. We do not need an American soldier to save us."

Swell, so if they sit on their duffs and do nothing to free themselves and the Mullahs go nuclear, then it's just too bad for the world. Maybe we should all just wait till the Mullahs nuke someone to realize that all talk and no action by the "student," who don't want to see the Mullahs's soon-to-be completed nuclear weapons plants harmed is a disaster. Maybe we should let a Prince in California talk about his national pride for Iran and let him be our guiding light. But ask yourself this when did anyone last see these people protesting? And when you ask the Iranians and they say they can't remember it was they who overthrew the Shah. Apparently, that was much easier. But now, they want us to join in a little suicide pact while they tells us how much they want to be free. We better not drink the kool aid. If they can gain their own freedom and soon, wonderful and all for the better. If they cannot get themselves free, especially because they refuse to actually act, we should not let the Mullahs have nukes to assuage the pride of cowards. NEVER.

By Military intervention in Iran, we will let the Mullahs KILL more human beings.

How do you know? Are you their ventriloquist or their puppet master? Do you trust them not to use nukes? Or should we all just be hostages to the designs of the Mullahs?

Well, that's good enough for me. Let's just let the Mullahs of Iran have some nukes. They want 'em. They can have them. Don't do anything to upset these holy men.

Does Richard Armitage and the rest of the State Dept still claim that Iran is a "democracy?" Myself, I'd prefer to see the weird beards in Tehran deposed by a revolution from within, simply because Iran is a much larger country than Iraq or Afghanistan; it will be that much harder for any military intervention on our part to succeed. However, if we do it Reza Pahlavi's way, you know the State Dept folks are going to interfere, since they would rather see tyranny if it comes with stability. After all, they didn't support us going into Iraq. In fact, that's probably why we haven't done much so far to support those in Iran who oppose the theocracy, and why Michael Ledeen ends every one of his columns on Iran with the line, "Faster, please."

How do you propose the Iranian people gain freedom from the tyranny of the mullahs?
