Evista. Evista consulting….

Not a good point! It’s blissfully ignorant babble at best. Doesn’t Barnett know that Ahmadinejad has stated he wants to wipe the United States and Israel off the map. And if left alone he will eventually have the ability to carry through on that threat. And while it’s very silly to believe any follow-on regime would be “Jeffersonian”(how snarky of Barnett), nevertheless how could any follow-on regime be any worse than Ahmadinejad ?

Instead of talking about; they could put it into action.

He is putting it into action lorien1973, as quickly as he can !

Maybe.

But we can assuredly PUT THEM THERE by (1) bombing their military installations and Revolutionary Guards HQ and training camps, blockading their ports, and dropping a few precision guided bombs on their religious and political leadership’s homes and offices.

But, that would nto be politically correct, right?

The Persians, self-admittedly quite different from Arabs, were decent enough folks before 1979, right?
What were they like pre Ayatollah? and do they have a chance of returning to a quiet decent country?shooter on February 20, 2007 at 5:55 PM

Shooter, In the 70′s the Sha was a cold war ally letting us listen in on Russia. The US did screw up in Iran pre-WWII overthrowing a leader to put (I think) the Sha’s father in power. (Can’t find my book right now.) It was a foreign policy blunder in hindsight. That history had much to do with the Iranian revolution’s hatred of the US. I still want payback for 79 as much as anybody. They do however, have one legitimate historical gripe. But nukes? No way.

Swingin’ Shi’ites.

Off to meet the 12th Imam / Hidden Madhi / Beelzebub.

Wounded despotic regimes (SEE: The Third Reich, after D-Day) are notorious for Gotterdammerung finales.

Best to squeeze them from every angle until their own people tire of the trouble and give the mad mullahs a retirement necktie party.

(Maybe this is why Mahmoud studiously avoids wearing one?)

If we win in Iraq the dems will shift to something else, never admitting their stupidity.

Just watch how honera behaves. She/he is the poster child for traitorous stupid liberal moonbat bloggers.

My question is … what will take the current regime’s place? a Jeffersonian Democracy? Or perhaps a tyrant who combines all the worst traits of Saddam Hussein and Khomeini.

My question is … how much would it slow em down? How long will it take them to get back to this point? Two years? Five? 20?…..If you leave the regime in place how the heck is that going to accomplish anything?

Drag em back far enough they might get Hammurabi.

nevertheless how could any follow-on regime be any worse than Ahmadinejad ?

Read “The Legacy of Jihad” by Andrew Bostom. Read also “The Politically Incorrect Guide to Islam” by Robert Spencer. There are brief patches where Muslims take a turn for the normal, as in the case of the Persians under the Shah, but the Ayatollahs are always ready to revive the true Islam. Sunni, Shia, it doesn’t matter.

Just hit the gasoline pipelines and tanks..

They already have a gasoline shortage that is killing their economy…

Get on the radio and tell the Iranian people… sorry we have to do this, but your government is running around threatening people… so we’re not gonna let them drive their vehicles… sorry for the inconvenience… oh… and by the way… look to the sky before crossing any bridges.. their next…

Then… load up the F-22s…

by the way: Jammie,

Do you write here anymore, or is every comment just a direct link to your website? Isn’t there a term for that? Or maybe you have permission from MM& co.

So what happens if Iraq stabilizes and Iran collapses under Bush’s presure? Will the dems appologize for their hate filled rhetoric that would have stopped all of this?

No, they’ll claim that their rise to congressional power and the “pressure” they put on the president entitles them to the credit. You can lose with these people, but you can’t possibly win.

I don’t think they are close to collapse but then again I never thought I would be urinating tyrrany either.

Allahpundit is being very positive today. Maybe he got a raise, or a date with Kirsten? Perhaps our Hot Air celebrity will share the good news.

This is a welcome development. However, let’s not count our chickens before they hatch. North Korea has been on the ropes for years, and they’ve managed to stay alive with nuclear blackmail.

And a couple of sugar daddies in the forms of the dearly-departed Soviet Union and the ever-growing Red China.

Let’s hope for a general war between Shia and Sunni in the Mideast. Let’s arm the Kurds, and watch the Umma implode.

I’m glad I’m not the only one that remembers that part of the plan. As long as we have the will to finish off the weakened survivor,….

With Murtha and Pelosi “running the show”, Iran and the rest of the middle east will become peaceful paradises. The lions Shia and Sunnis will lie down with the lambs Jews. All the world will prosper and all swords will be beaten into plowshares.

(That was sarcasm by the way)

I’m afraid that the idea of Iran being “on the ropes” and a significant regime change is somewhat premature. Oh, They may get rid of Ahmadinejad because of his big mouth, but their overall plans and intentions will not change…. They will just not be as ‘honest’ about them.

And that whoever it is doesn’t have nuclear weapons.
