Yeah, sometimes I feel like kicking people in the teeth.

A communist Mexico?
Iran on our borders? (translated from Farsi)
"The head of the political party, the Alliance of Builders of Islamic Iran [RealVideo], Hasan Bayadi [who is Vice President of the Tehran City Council], has suggested to the Iranian Ministry of Defense that it conduct war games near American border to show the strength of Iran's military."
Iran and Venezuela: together forever! I didn't say it; Chavez did. And what would you say if Chavez were selling Iran nuclear fuel?
'Peaceful' nuclear programs in South America. Speaking of which. Freaking Chavez.
Facing Down Iran. Long, but I can't tell you how thought-provoking this was.
Has Iran Miscalculated?. Thoughts on Iran's nuclear strategy, dealing with them, and the unholy hell that will be if (or when) Israel gets dragged into this.
"So far the Iranian president has posed as someone 90-percent crazy and 10-percent sane, hoping we would fear his overt madness and delicately appeal to his small reservoirs of reason. But he should understand that if his Western enemies appear 90-percent children of the Enlightenment, they are still effused with vestigial traces of the emotional and unpredictable. And military history shows that the irrational 10 percent of the Western mind is a lot scarier than anything Islamic fanaticism has to offer."
Some connected guy claims that Bush is planning nuclear strikes against Iran.
"Despite America's public commitment to diplomacy, there is a growing belief in Washington that the only solution to the crisis is regime change. A senior Pentagon consultant said that Mr Bush believes that he must do "what no Democrat or Republican, if elected in the future, would have the courage to do," and "that saving Iran is going to be his legacy"."
Edit: Oh, and this is interesting. Apparently, Iran is dealing with quite a lot of insurgency.
Dreams in Lighting
"The regime in Tehran has its hands full with domestic unrest. The Baluchis of Sistan-o-Baluchistan province, Sunni Muslims, are led by Abdol-Maalek Rigui in their guerilla campaign against the regime. Meanwhile, the Arabs of Khuzestan, under their spiritual leader Shobeir Khaghani, have repeatedly attacked Iran's vital oil pipelines. Kurds are clashing with regime forces in places like Sanandaj, Baneh, Mahabad, Marivan and Dardasht; the Turcoman minority in Khorasan are increasingly discontented. Finally, some Azeri separatists are clamoring for annexation to Azerbaijan. It would not be surprising if the US and Britain were supplying covert aid to some or all of these groups."
