Bush Receives An Interesting Endorsement

Tuesday, President Bush received the endorsement of Iran's Security Council. Hasan Rowhani, the head of the Supreme National Security Council, was quite frank about the backing of Bush. "We do not desire to see Democrats take over." Rowhani also added, "And we should not forget that during Bush's era — despite his hard-line and baseless rhetoric against Iran — he didn't take, in practical terms, any dangerous action against Iran." The baseless rhetoric points to Bush's labeling of Iran as a part of the Axis of Evil, also including Iraq and North Korea. Unlike Iraq, virtually nothing has been done to contain Iran or North Korea, and there are no signs that a second Bush term will create any meaningful progress. Luckily, the ineptitude of the Iraq War has likely drowned any ideas of possibly invading its eastern neighbor; a war with Iran would surely hold more consequences than this one.
