Not long ago I published a post heralding an attempt by the Bush administration to jump start discussions with the Iranian "government," excuse me, a theocracy with a fruitcake serving as its "secular" president, the one and (thankfully, only Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.)
What I wrote as as balanced as I could make it concerning this bunch of white beards and a secular fruitcake president. Just as Bush has his "dark side" vice president, Dick Cheney, (who only used the term tongue-in-cheek back in '01 to describe the urgency of letting the CIA take its gloves off) -- Iran and Ahmadinejad really have a veep from the Dark Side: Gholam Reza Aghazadeh.
According to Townhall's Gordon Zahn and AP's David Stringer (London),
There's a lot more in this story so I'll just leave you with the link here.
Really Long Link
Does it have to come to this?
Not really, but it'll most likely come to Iran having to deal with Israel's Air Force and Navy. And it won't just be Iran that takes a solid hit.

According to Townhall's Gordon Zahn and AP's David Stringer (London),
Iran signaled Thursday that it will no longer cooperate with U.N. experts probing for signs of clandestine nuclear weapons work, confirming the investigation is at a dead end a year after it began.
The announcement from Iranian Vice President Gholam Reza Aghazadeh compounded skepticism about denting Tehran's nuclear defiance, just five days after Tehran stonewalled demands from six world powers that it halt activities capable of producing the fissile core of warheads.
Besides demanding a suspension of uranium enrichment _ a process that can create both fuel for nuclear reactors and payloads for atomic bombs _ the six powers have been pressing Tehran to cooperate with the International Atomic Energy Agency's probe.
Iran, which is obligated as a signer of the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty not to develop nuclear arms, raised suspicions about its intentions when it admitted in 2002 that it had run a secret nuclear program for nearly two decades in violation of its commitment.

Unfortunately I can't copy it in this reply space, but it resembled a Jolly Roger flag. But I think the bozo might take that as a nice flattering portrait of his excellency.
Having undergone the minor inconvenience of some power outages lately (rare where I live) I got a taste of what Iran's going to experience for a long time when we and/or our friends to his west hit those "peaceful" nuke plants.
