So, the United States is to classify the Iranian Revolutionary Guard as a terrorist organisation? Well, I’m sure that that will cause untold inconvenience to those Iranian Revolutionary Guard who currently find it so easy to enter the United States, and who have been doing so with such frequency hitherto.
Bush is going, he is already a lame duck, and his party has decided to sit out the election of his successor, yet he still feels it necessary to Do Something about Iran. Well, since This Is Something, he has Done This. So that’s that taken care of. No air strikes. Certainly no invasion. Just a nominal banning from American soil of people who were never going to try and set foot on it in the first place.
The neocons can rattle their sabres all they like at Iran: just as it is now politically inconceivable that Britain might ever participate in such a war, so the same thing can probably be said about the United States.
