IS BUSH JUST KICKING THE CAN DOWN THE ROAD, AFTER ALL?

• THE RECENT NIE ON IRAN AND RECENT THE BALI AGREEMENT ESSENTIALLY KICK THOSE TWO ISSUES DOWN THE ROAD FOR THE NEXT PRESIDENT TO DEAL WITH.

• IN PRINCIPLE, IT'S BAD TO KICK THE CAN DOWN THE ROAD.

• ESPECIALLY IF IN 2008, THE USA ELECTS A DEM. THEN THESE TWO ISSUES WILL HAVE TO BE DEALT WITH BY OBAMA. OR EDWARDS. OR HILLARY.
  

• THEN YOU CAN BET WE WILL LET IRAN GET NUKES AND WE'LL ADOPT A DRACONIAN SERIES OF TAXES AND REGULATIONS TO COMBAT THE PHANTOM OF AGW. AND REDISTRUTE WEALTH FROM THE DEVELOPED WORLD TO THE THIRD WORLD KLEPTOCRACIES. (AS IF THAT EVER WORKED!)
  

• EACH COULD RUIN US. BOTH MAY.

I BLAME BLUSH.
