I have mixed feelings. I under no circumstances want Iran to have nuclear weapons, but it isn't going to be nearly as simple as giving them a firm smack. The American press is woefully blind, and I think purposefully so. They are dwelling on this port deal when much more frightening things are at hand. My greatest worry is China's reaction.
Re: Madsen, I'm not a fan. My personal belief is that he is a sham, and I have felt such since he claimed that the USS Cole was really struch by an Israeli missile. No offense to your own beliefs intended, I just find him to be someone straining so hard to villify the Bush administration that he would believe anything that was said, no matter how far-fetched.
