More on Iran

I've always liked Joe Conanson's style. He just systematically breaks down the screaming wingnuts rhetoric in a cool and collected voice but without so much wonkiness that you want to drill a hole in your head to keep from falling asleep.

So go read his thing in Salon on Bush's Bluster (if you can't tell by now- I am a Salon junkie and have been for 6 or 7 years).

The bulk of evidence indicates that Iran is far from obtaining enough nuclear fuel to build a bomb, despite much alarmism from right-wing advocates of violent "regime
change." But just as the threat of military action persuaded Saddam Hussein to
admit the United Nations weapons inspectors whose work might have prevented war, the possibility of force could induce the mullahs to meet the West in productive
negotiations.

I should add him to my list of hot brains ( with Greg Palast still at the
top).
