Reply #8: Which they are entitled to under the NPT [View All]

[jimlup]

As we all know, Iran is entitled to enrich uranium under the NPT. Cheney obviously wants war since using the NPT to monitor Iran's enrichment program is the best way to avoid it. The neo-cons are truly ignorant. They have this fantasy about controlling the Middle East with direct military power that they can't let go of.

My own opinion is that while they have ignorantly set the course for war - they are not really ready to wage it and so most of the 'signals' we've been seeing lately are just postering. This president is a lame duck and is going to hand the problem off to his successor since he doesn't really know what to do. It'll take the Obama administration most of the next 4 years to just start to undo the damage the neocons have done.

In this analysis, I am assuming a certain level sanity within the current administration that may not really be present.
