Excite News: "TEHRAN (Reuters) - President Bush refused on Tuesday to rule out nuclear strikes against Iran if diplomacy fails to curb the Islamic Republic's atomic ambitions."

Of course. Iran needs to know that we might use the bomb. The advantage of nuclear is psychological. No president should ever rule out the use of them. Let the enemy tremble in the knowledge that we might have the courage.

New York Daily News - News & Views Columnists - Richard Cohen: Gore movie puts heat on Bush: "In the meantime, he is a man on a mission. Wherever he goes, he finds time and an audience to deliver his (free) lecture on global warming. It and the film leave no doubt of the peril we face and neither do they leave any doubt that Gore, at last, is a man at home in his role. He is master teacher, pedagogue, know-it-all, smarter than most of us, better informed and, having tried for and failed to gain the presidency, has raised his sights to save the world. We simply cannot afford for Al Gore to lose again. "

Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear. The sky is falling, the sky is..... No, I mean the globe is melting, the ice is melting, the little birds are going to fry, and then all of us will fry. We must elect Gore; he who invented the internet and lived the Love Story. Oh dear Al, please ride to the rescue and save us all from evil Republicans, frying oceans, melting ice caps, and New York falling into to the sea. No, forget the latter. That might be a good thing. [But what about Al Qaeda, Al? Al? Al...?]

Can we simply afford for Al to win?
