Such stupid and dull thinking. > Actually, a strong country should have that as a given, but be so self-confidant that it never needs to be spoken of. That the Bush Administration appears to make it the heart of their diplomatic strategy is a Very Bad Thing. The Bush administration asked the European community to handle the situation and negotiations with Iran. They became frustrated with the lack of progress and insisted the US become more involved. Bush has said all along that there will be a negotiated settlement. The only thing Bush has said in regards to force is that military options are not off the table but are a last resort. And I would bet that was the reason the Europeans asked for US involvement in the talks. __._,_.___ To subscribe, send a message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Or go to: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/FairfieldLife/ and click 'Join This Group!'
