What Happened to the Carrot?

The Bush Administration, while publicly advocating diplomacy in order to stop Iran from pursuing a nuclear weapon, has increased clandestine activities inside Iran and intensified planning for a possible major air attack, according to Seymour M. Hersh.
..............................
Anyone skilled in international diplomacy knows that threats alone do not deter regimes defending either their pride or their geographical integrity. Put people up against the wall and call them "evil" -- an ugly, dangerous, term emanating from anachronistic religious roots -- and one is looking for trouble.
Iran is a nation of young people by all reports much enamored of modern things as all younger generations are disposed to be unless they are captivated by sick and demented hate ideologies. There are many better ways to appeal to their hopes for their futures other than threatening them with a "nuculer" (sic) hit.
The horrendous speech writer invented phrase -- "axis of evil" -- which Bush is now defending exposes a mind and spirit of a limited and troubled person beginning to recognize his massive failures.
No, Bush, you are not the second coming. And Jesus would have been appalled by your Gee-Whiz-Who-Me? contemptible misleadership of the U.S. You are not only a public embarrassment, but manifestly a dangerous menace as well. Resign! Get lost! Stop before you indeed bring on an apocalypse of WMD.
