Loved the parody toon. Bush doesn't have the U.S. financial backing to go to war with Iran. With Russia watering down sanctions, there's no way Europe are going to foot the bill for another war, especially with their financial interests being hurt. I just can't see a way for Bush to declare war on Iran. It's game over.

The George Bush family has been onto oil for a longtime, and intelligence,and have billions of bucks. Fuel,info, and money.

Yes Iran does want negotiation. Not sure that the hostage taking is a call for negotiation. Iran took British military hostages a few years back. They messed up that time by parading them blindfold through the streets and forced them to make a public apology on Iranian TV. Looks like they've learned from this mistake. Iran could play this to their advantage, by being reasonable in negotiations and releasing the detainees. This would get some people talking about how reasonable Iran acted, rather than whether they were developing nuclear weapons. Will be interesting to see how this one plays out.

I think Irans leader has brought this on himself with his threats. It was also Iran who hold American hostages for over a year durring the Carter presidental term.
