    Don't expect leadership from the U.S. government. Members of the Bush administration can't even say Iran. It's not I-ran.

    What the hell do you want? Strong words from Bush aren't going to make a bit of difference to the Iranian government.

    Instead of trying to thinly veil your hate-rant about Bush and his administration in some pitiful complaint about them not taking a stand on this matter, just be a man and come out with it... get on the old i-hate-bush-bandwagon and ride it to November! YEE HAW!

    You are a pretty sad individual to be so consumed with hate and vitriol that someone's accent stokes your hate fire so well. Do you feel the same way about the huge number of immigrants and minorities in this country? Or are their accents ok, as long as they vote Democrat?
