It's true. The end times are upon us. The Bush Administration has opted to negotiate with Iran. Negotiate! And this comes just a couple of weeks after the shock and awe administration offered to return to the table with North Korea. The first seals have already broken, but it's not too late!

Some suspect the administration - which refused to denounce rumors of a planned pre-emptive strike on Iran even after British Foreign Minister Jack Straw called such plans "nuts" - is offering to negotiate now in expectation that Iran will balk at U.S. demands. Should this happen the U.S. will have the upper hand with Russia and China in future U.N. Security Council proceedings concerning Iran.

If indeed this whole "diplomacy" thing is a red herring to pressure the other Security Council members into acquiescing to a military strike on Iran we'll know that we're safe. Because the day this administration starts listening to the career analysts, intelligence professionals, and diplomatic corps regarding foreign policy instead of blindly pursuing a faith-drunk global strategy of benevolent dictatorship...on that day Hell itself will have frozen over.
