Hyping the threat from Iran

Yes, of course.  We are the cause of Iran's tremendous nuclear weapons advances.  Not 4+ years of weak, useless and failed EU negotiations.  Not a generation of accepting it terrorists activities by a timid world.  We need to give them respectability, welcome them into civilized society - then they will lay down their arms and admit the foolishness of their ways.  Sounds like a plan BHO, in fact, it sounds like your plan!

Hyping the threat from Iran

War talk against Iran is rising again in Washington as the Bush administration enters its final months with little to show for its labors in the Middle East. Yet the consequences of attacking a third Muslim country in seven years could be far worse than an already precarious status quo. Iran hawks anxious to blunt Iran's growing regional influence also fail to grasp the real constraints on Iranian expansionism, instead creating a bogeyman that, like Saddam Hussein, may turn out to be a chimera.
