Diplomacy doesn't seem to be working. Endless blabbing.

Invade Iran - yeah, that'll go real well, even if we didn't have most of
our military resources tied up in some other nearby place.

Nuke Iran into submission - hey, we're trying to be an Empire anyway,
might as well go for broke and stop this We're a democractic, peace-
loving society front. Outside of Russia and China, who could stop us
on a nuclear level? And they probably won't retaliate on behalf of
Iran - they'll be too busy trying to get as many spoils as they can
from the place.

Bug the crap out of Iran until they submit by sending in our own
terrorist groups - oh, excuse me, they'll be freedom fighters cause
they're on the right side of God.

Dump so many capitalist dollars into Iran that the nation will eventually
cry out for material goods and the place will go Western without firing
a shot.

Make Iraq and Iran enemies again so they kill each other off and then
we come in and turn the former nations into Halliburtonia.

Get Pakistan to nuke each other with the same threats we used to make
Pakistan our ally in the first place. You know, that friendly Join us or we'll
bomb you into the Stone Age rhetoric.

The American Empire is on its way. Bush and Cheney and Rove and Lord
knows who else have the diplomacy skills of a bulldozer, so I say let's start
using our nuclear stick and threaten the world into submission, so we can
all be free and make lots of money.
