This has to be the definition of irony.

Declare Iran a member of the so-called "Axis of Evil"? Check.

Give them grief over their nuclear program and all but accuse them of lying about the purpose of their pursuit of nuclear technology? Check.

Ask Iranian leadership to step in and help defuse the current level of violence in Iraq? Beautiful.

Now, I'll be the first to admit that I think Bush is right about Iran. I don't think their intentions are pure, and I'm sure they ARE covertly trying to acquire ABC weapons (but primarily atomics). But at the same time...isn't that on the same level as just absolutely ripping your opponent to shreds during primaries, and then saying "This man is what America needs, and I want him to be my Vice President"?

Whether it's sincere or not, it still looks very strange, and I'm forced to wonder just what Iran's incentive is to bother pitching in at all.

I've always been fascinated by Iran and think they are quite possibly the most dangerous country in the world at the moment. But I'm glad that Bush is trying to do whatever it takes to make Iraq work even if it means dealing with Iran.

Perhaps its not such a good thing for planning to call countries Evil ahead of acting on it.....perhaps youll have to go to them for help or insight into other "evil" countries.....perhaps, perhaps, perhaps. Could Bush PUHLEASE quit saying stuff that he will undoubtedly have to defend, notice i didnt say "regret" cuz we all know he NEVER admits a mistake.

No, the definition of irony is "a combination of circumstances or a result that is the opposite of what might be expected or considered appropriate."

This might be considered a good example of irony, though.
