Ring Around Iran
The immense pressure we have recently imposed on the Iranian theocracy is working. They are surrounded by our military along every front. They have extended their resources across the peninsula to Syria, Lebanon and now Gaza. They are supporting an otherwise natural enemy in Al Qaeda. The economic pressure they are feeling is intense -- in spite of their vast oil reserves, Iran is rationing gas supplies. They are now required to fund the destitute Syrian tyranny, Hezbollah and Hamas (since the US and Europe no longer do). Short on cash and oil, no wonder they want "Bahrain back "; Caliphate building is hard work.lol
And, read the results of this Iranian opinion poll from today's Wall Street Journal ($) authored by Ken Ballen to appreciate the internal pressure for democracy being felt by the Mullahs. While they try to build nuclear weapons and confront the US and the west, Iran simultaneously in closing down TV stations and the press and repressing students at university. How long can that last?

For people who say that Bush's administration has no policy on Iran. You outlined their policy exactly they way they wanted. You CAN topple regime with no war and hopefully Iran will be the case as it was in the Soviet Union.
