With Irans moves today have we stepped back from the brink of a third war?

Bush is obviously po'd at the nerve of the Dems in Congress so he has rammed through two recess appointments today. I think he will also be peeved by a peaceful resolution to the British situation. He would obviously prefer to "rescue" them with guns blazing. It would satisfy his need to be the hero/god/all knowing decider.

Is he going to move ahead with an attack on Iran now? Even in light of the Easter "gift" of a pardon and return by Iran?

1. No.

We stepped back from a distraction from Bush's incompetence.

And record ~~gas pri~~ crude oil prices.

2. That's the way I see it.

Between Iran's PR move and Pelosi's amazing ME trip, the winds have indeed shifted.

I've felt better today about the state of the world than I have in a long, long time. We're actually hearing the word "peace" used for the first time in 6 years!

6. Of course not.

Now the Commander-in-Chimp will want to "take out" those "dirty Iranians" before they "endanger" more lives with their "nukeyoulurh weapons of mass destruction."

7. I think the buzz about war with Iran is overplayed, imho.

A lot of what we've seen recently is grandstanding for the world press and hometown consumption, on all sides.
