Bush Derangement Syndrome is in passing-gear these days in Washington and the MSM over Iran:
"Yes, let’s examine for a moment the idea that a regime that has been making war against us for 27 years (without a significant response by us, by the way, in all that time) is somehow not perceived as a threat and does not generate much anxiety; but the President of the US who stands up against the terrorism of Saddam, Bin Laden, and Ahmadinejad and the Mullahs generates high anxiety?"
More from Dr. Sanity, who has the diagnosis, if not the cure.

Unresponsive, so far
Invading, however, really isn’t necessary, according to American historian Arthur Herman. Air strikes and naval attacks from the Persian Gulf would be more than enough:
"Almost 90 percent of the mullahs’ oil assets are located either in or near the Gulf. So is the nuclear reactor that Russia is building for Iran at Bushehr. Virtually every Iranian well or production platform depends on access to the Gulf if Iran’s oil is to reach buyers. Hence, the same Straits by means of which Iran intends to lever itself into a position of global power present the West with its own point of leverage to reduce Iran’s power—and to keep it reduced for at least as long as the country’s political institutions remain unprepared to enter the modern world."
Worth a read.
