Iran not Iraq

MAINZ, Germany (Reuters) - President Bush said Wednesday that European diplomatic efforts were just beginning to try to rein in Iran's nuclear program and comparisons with Iraq were wrong.

"Iran is not Iraq. We just started the diplomatic efforts and I want to thank our friends for taking the lead. We will work with them to convince the mullahs that they need to give up their nuclear ambitions," Bush told a news conference after talks with German Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder

Well at least someone remembers the years, more than a decade, we dealt with Iraq -- inspectors allowed in, inspectors refused access, documents requested, refusal to turn over documents, on and on and on... I really does not amaze me how those opposed to President Bush use shock to sway people -- Iraq is another Vietnam, Iran is another Iraq, etc.; what shocks me is how people "fall for it". Iran is just starting on their path of international deception and if diplomatic means are successful will anyone give credit to US action in Iraq -- I will! One hint, please don't let the UN, France, Germany, or Russia get in involved in dispense financial aid, ala "oil-for-food", or this maybe another 10 year diplomatic approach.
