Is that supposed to be funny? OK, I readily agree that there is danger in waiting too long. On the other hand, the fact that the U.S. acts on its own behalf, and perhaps even for the wrong reasons (as happened in the case of Iraq), can pose a danger as well, since there is already a strong anti-US sentiment around the world.

One way or the other, the situation is dangerous.

>I agree entirely. I think no country should be allowed to do anything until at least 12 UN resolutions have been passed and ignored by Iran and then wait some more. I hope we have learned our lesson. If the UN does not take action still no country had better do anything unilaterally until Iran wipes all of the peaceful Bahá'í off of the face of the earth. Then since they are the victims they are the only ones that can do anything. Well, if there's anyone left...
