Maybe We Can Just Talk To Him, Perhaps "Let's Be Friends Pretty Please " Will Work.

Yeah, sure it will, not. Every so often history teaches us there comes along an individual that just cannot play nice with others when it comes to the world stage and then precipitate what turn out in hindsight to be pivitol historical moments. Hitler, Stalin, Ghengis Khan, Saddam just to name a few.

If the story below from the National Review Thursday morning pointing to the possible threat of a cataclysmic event occurring on August 22nd delivered courtesy of our mad, grubby little hairy buddy in Iran President Ahmadinejad has any validity to it, what are we to do?

Well let's see. Should we take the time to include the world community in a hands across the world kind of thing with our so-called allies, particularly the French, then moving to the United Nations proclaiming Mr "Im reporting for duty" John Kerry as our Ambassador of goodwill.

Then we can send he, Joe Wilson, Slick Willie and Nancy Pelosi on a diplomatic hand holding mission to Tehran in order to open monumental "Kum Ba Ya, cant we all get along" peace sessions with the mad man, in between his hate rallies proclaiming his intention to destroy Israel and the world? Gee, that sounds absolutely peachy to me.

Or do we take him and his open vitriolic threats seriously, thus opting to pre-emptively send a little care package with his practically unpronouncable name written all over it courtesy President George Bush and the United States Military, theus propelling him on his 72 virgin seeking journey before he is able to act upon his self-proclaimed vision requiring his participation in the initiation of the Apocalypse?

I'm for the policy of pre-emption myself, as if you think a snake is about to bite you and you are afforded the opportunity to shovel slam it's ass, you don't ingnorantly wait for the local swami snake charmer to show accidentally and hope he has his magic flute with him to subdue the creature peacefully.

Joel C. Rosenberg on Iran on National Review Online: Is Iran planning an apocalyptic strike against Israel and/or the United States for August 22? If so, what should the U.S. do to protect Americans and our ally? Such questions are worrying a growing number of officials in the White House, at the CIA, and at the Pentagon, and for good reason.

As a devout Shiite Muslim, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is telling colleagues in Tehran that he believes the end of the world is rapidly approaching. He also believes that the ay to hasten the coming of the Islamic Messiah known as the “Hidden Imam” or the “Mahdi” is to launch a catastrophic global jihad, first against Israel (the “little Satan”) and then against the U.S. (the “Great Satan”). What’s more, Ahmadinejad is widely believed to be pursuing nuclear weapons that would give him the ability to carry out his apocalyptic religious views. Some experts even speculate that Iran may already have several atomic bombs and the means to deliver them.

In recent days, Ahmadinejad and his advisers have said that Iran will answer the world regarding the future of its nuclear program on August 22. That happens to be a very significant date for Muslims: It is the anniversary of the supposed “night flight” by Mohammed from Saudi Arabia to the Temple Mount in Jerusalem to heaven and back again. There is a worry that Ahmadinejad is planning some sort of apocalyptic attack as his ‘“response” on August 22. If so, time is short and the clock is ticking. read full story
