Slithering Over the Brink . . .

There's a line in an otherwise decent book on WWI that I've always found rather amusingly odd. The author sums up the road to WWI as "slithering over the brink into the boiling cauldron of war." I was thinking of that while reading Bucky's post on Patraeus' views on Iran. In a NPR interview, Iraq's National Security Advisory, Dr. Mowaffak al-Rubaie agreed that Iran is meddling in Iraq. But his view of how to handle the situation differs greatly from those in the Bush administration. He advised dialog between the US & Iran, arguing quite logically that attacking Iran would be a fatal mistake and draw the entire region into instability.

Will we listen? Or will Bush & Co., continue to push the middle-east even further over that brink?

I thought I'd take a moment to share some of the cartoons around the net on this topic.
