The Threat To Iran
There is no doubt that neither Britain, nor any other country currently mired in either or both of Afghanistan and Iraq (never mind any that isn't), will join the dying Bush Administration in this madness, based as it is on "intelligence" that isn't just false (as in the case of Iraq), but cannot possibly have been obtained already. The question is whether even the Republican Party, whose Convention next year there is talk of Bush's not attending because he has become such an embarrassment, will follow its failed and outgoing leader into Iran. Here's hoping that the authentically conservative tradition will reassert itself.
