AmericaBlog has an excellent post up on Iran...
"Conclusion

Having explained all of that, I think the Democrats' message and policy can be distilled into one single point:

Iran is ten years away from developing nuclear weapons. There is no discussion of America rushing into another premature war until either Bush is out office, or Congress is able to provide effective oversight of, and can serve as a counter-balance to, the Bush administration's incompetence."

I just want to add: it's good that AmericaBlog and others are strongly getting out IN FRONT of the Iran bamboozle, rather than simply REACTING, which is largely what happened with Iraq. We have good reason to hope that a large effort spent getting ahead of the issue will result in a better outcome than we experienced with Iraq.

1. maybe not
Except that Aravosis of AmericaBlog has stated that he "doesn't necessarily have a problem bombing Iran" and that he's "hawkish on defense".
I think he's talking out of both sides of his mouth not unlike some of our dems in name only.

2. Even if he is, that doesn't mean that THIS post isn't a good one.
