Todays meeting between President Bush and the Prime Minister of Israel Ehud Olmert, brought Iran back into international spotlight. It has been over two months since the United Nations Security Council’s demand that the Islamic Republic immediately halt its efforts to enrich uranium, a key step toward developing atomic arms. The risk of Iran having a nuclear bomb is harmful to Israel, American armed forces in the region, and Americas home front. President Bush during the meeting today called for worldwide isolation of Iran until it "gives up its nuclear ambitions."
I think we are going to see a very different policy towards the Iranian threat. The Bush administration cannot afford another Iraq. I think we will see a diplomatic driven policy towards Iran, we will not see American forces move into Iran anytime soon in my eyes. However, I do think that if we do not treat Iran has a real threat to the world we are just fooling ourselves. We need to work with the United Nations to ensure that Iran does not achieve its goals of destroying Israel and the Western World. I think the Bush administrations decisions however are being and will continue to be politically motivating, following the ousting of the Republican party from Congress.
