There Goes the Neighborhood

With Iran's leader making increasingly louder and obscene gestures toward Israel, something's gotta give here. A world leader of a soon-to-be nuclear power cannot dismiss the existence of another nation ("wiped off the map") nor suggest that it should be relocated ("Our proposal is this: Give a piece of your land in Europe, the United States, Canada or Alaska so they (Jews) can create their own state").

If no one else acts, the Israelis will because they hope to remain intact where they are. And if it's the Israelis, then that's a failure of international accountability and will be the greatest failure of the Bush administration. Therefore, I trust that there is a lot of preparation going on behind the scenes amidst the threatening adolescence of Iran's leader.
