So...

Whatever happened to glorious, glorious, Persia?

"Iran ready to fight fire with fire -- Tehran Times

Iranian President Mahmud
Ahmadinejad warns that the country will harshly respond to any strike against its nuclear installations."

"A recent study, conducted by the Bipartisan Policy Center and prepared under the guidance of former senators Republican Daniel Coats and Democrat Charles Robb, concluded that a military strike against Iran’s nuclear sites is ‘a feasible option and must remain a last resort’ to halt Tehran’s nuclear development.

The study, however, warned that any strike against Iran ‘could quickly escalate to full-scale war’."

Skillful diplomacy is sorely needed.
How should we put out the fire?
