In part at least we’re involved in a giant game of chicken. We can’t survive if Iranian oil is taken from the world market, and Iran’s current government can’t survive without oil revenue. This reality creates all of the potential in the world for creative approaches to resolving this problem, but the Bush administration has brought a giant hammer to the region and is laregly blind to anything other than pounding nails.

It seems to me that the same diplomatic coalition that was brought to bear against North Korea could be assembled to begin very similar negotiations with the Ayatollahs. The presence of China would bring to the table a voice which is more trusted than ours, but is at least as knowldegable with respect to the damage that the largest disruption of oil supply in recent times (with the exception of course of the discretionary BUSHCO invasion of Iraq) would send spiraling out in all directions. The presence of Russia would bring to the table a nation with as mush to gain as any from skyrocketing oil prices and one that is undoubtedly sophisticated enough to have studied the damage it would suffer if Iran and/or BUSHCO ever were stupid enough to try to use the oil weapon to bring the world to our knees.

Nuclear weapons? If Russia, China, or both assured Iran that they would take the entire population out with neutron bombs if it ever made the mistake of a first strike, it wouldn’t bother me if Iran had as many warheads as, say, England, or even China or Russia.

Why do we need to even think first strike when others can and would neutralize the problem far more effectively than any wild assed plan circulating within any part of BUSHCO will ever be able to guarantee?
