Saul Singer writing in JPOST demands Bush, do a Sharon After pointing out that many consider Bush down for the count,
Bush knows this full well. But he may also share the wariness of Republicans who see Americans averse to $3-a-gallon gasoline, casualties in Iraq, and anything that smells like "starting a new war."
Outside this perceived political straight-jacket lies reality. "As a practical matter, it is difficult to see how the new Iraqi government will ever be stable, let alone serve as a "beacon" of democracy in the Middle East, so long as it is bordered by pro-terrorist regimes in Iran and Syria bent on its destruction," writes Warshawsky. "President Bush's failure to gird the country for war in the aftermath of 9/11 thus may doom not only the Bush Doctrine, but the President's new, more limited war aim of establishing a "free society" in Iraq."
[...]Bush presidency will be defined by whether, at the end of eight years in office, the war against militant Islamism has been won or tipped decisively in America's favor; or, conversely, whether nuclearized mullahs have not only entrenched their rule but seen to it that all Iraqi-led regional progress toward freedom has been stopped or reversed.
He says Bush should either impose sanctions on Iran or use the military solution otherwise
By the end of Bush's term, the die will be cast toward a nuclear Iran or a democratic Iraq – but not both.

The US does have sanctions against Iran. I believe US companies can only deal in annual business operations not to exceed $US40 million. The EU and PR China are not involved in this - nor is Russia.
If not universal, what sanctions can the US impose on Iran? Iran and PR China have the world's largest contract - for $US 100 billion.

Shalom T,
I admit to not understanding your question. May I ask you to reword it?
Jews are obliged to be a kind and helpful people. Forgot the reference but we're obliged to remember we were strangers in Egypt. Add "For if any man of the House of Israel, or of the strangers who dwell in Israel,..." Ezekiel 14:7
Again, saying I don't understand your question, I will still add we have enemies WITHIN the House of Israel no less so than outside.
Kol tuv,
Bob
