It would be a tragedy to allow the Mullahs of Iran to pull the proud Persian people into an abyss. I can only hold out hope that civil war is still an outcome that we might see. The wise and resolute among the Iranians have long used the U.S. Constitution as a model for Hope, and perhaps they will come to understand that if they truly wish to emulate the United States and its history in any real way, they will have to be willing to FIGHT for the freedom they desire.

I would put one point to you all that is quite simple in the wake of the efforts in Iraq by United States armed forces and the Bush administration — whatever Fate has in store, there was never any road that was not going to keep Hamas from attaining the popular vote of the Palestinians. This is actually working to our advantage, because just like it was in the 1930’s, when Hitler’s Nazi Party came to power in Germany, Americans reacted with lackluster denials of the obvious, and so it is today.

Al-Jazeera on Thursday aired an audiotape purportedly from Osama bin Laden, who says al-Qaida is making preparations for attacks in the United States but offering a truce “with fair conditions.”
The tape’s release came days after a U.S. airstrike in Pakistan that was targeting bin Laden’s deputy, Ayman al-Zawahri, and reportedly killed four leading al-Qaida figures, including possibly al-Zawahri’s son-in-law. There was no mention of the attack on the segments that were broadcast.
From a recent New York Post:
0 CommentsJanuary 17, 2006 — TREATING Iran’s alleged nuclear ambition as a hot potato, the European trio of Britain, Germany and France has decided to pass it on to the International Atomic Energy Agency and thence to the United Nations’ Security Council. “Our talks with Iran have reached a dead end,” says Germany’s new Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier.
In truth, however, the trio’s three-year talks with Iran started at a dead end.
