From an IBD Editorial:
The U.S. and the European Union this week announced tentative plans to ratchet up economic sanctions against Iran for refusing to halt its uranium enrichment program.
It's a pretty tough move, one spearheaded by President Bush, that will grab Iran's attention. It also appears to be a preparatory step to a possible military strike against Iran if it refuses to stop its nuclear weapons program.

My Comment: The biggest foreign policy issue for the next U.S. administration will be to contain Iran's nuclear ambitions and its public support for the destruction of Israel. I personally believe in President Bush when he mentioned to The Times in an interview today that he is now only establishing the mechanism and structures for the next U.S. President when it comes to Iran.
This means .... to me .... that there will be no preemptive U.S. strike on Iran's nuclear facilities for the balance of his administration.
This policy unfortunately ignores the dedication and determination that Iran's rulers have in pursuing their own agenda. As far as they are concerned .... the U.S. is Satan, and they in turn must have all the means to confront and provoke the West's defeat. This religious mission has no boundaries, no lines to cross, and definitely little if any awareness of the consequences for their actions.
Will they give Hezbollah the bomb? .... I do not know the answer to that question but I do know that they have given them everything else.
