Iranian quandry

So we are here agian.

Single world superpower attempts to strong arm a rogue state and we sit at the brink at who knows what.

What are the solutions:

a. Allow Israel to make the first strike and so plunge the middle east into conflagration.

b. Watch the Iranians laugh as American acheives little at the UN exempt increase the proce of petrol for all of us and bankrupt the MoD in the process - which of course suits the Russians who are a net oil exporter.

c. Invade!!! - that of course would work in a country where the populus actually like the president.

d. Panic - and then join the rest of the EU and do nothing.

So what happens next, who knows really since neither side appears to want to back down and to be truthful the Yanks need the oil. I think Iran hold all the cards which is exactly why they are calling everyones bluff and getting very rich in the process.

Will China and Russia help? Who knows but its going to be an interesting summer.
