Two Sides Of The Same Coin?

The hotheaded leaders of the U.S. and Iran continue their war of words.

President Bush today (in addition to pledging- tee hee- 'diplomacy'):
"All options are on the table."

Translation: "Yes, I'm planning to nuke Iran. Suck on it, America. I'm the King."

President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad today:
"Iran's enemies know your courage, faith and commitment to Islam and the land of Iran has created a powerful army that can powerfully defend the political borders and the integrity of the Iranian nation — and cut off the hand of any aggressor and place the sign of disgrace on their forehead."

Translation: "I'm crazy. I want to make America too scared to touch me. Are they buying it?"

This is amidst growing clues about U.S. covert actions already underway in Iran.

And as the November elections approach, so too the rhetoric will grow. And we should keep paying attention and calling our leaders on their obvious insanity. After all, we don't want the smoking gun to come in the form of a mushroom cloud, now do we?
