On the one hand, you have Mr. Bush, the war-obsessed pylon, mightily huffing and puffing for all his worth about the need for democracy and fear of Iranian nuclear capabilities; and doing it while standing on the imported sands of an undemocratic oil-rich oligarchy. The layers of irony aren't lost on any of us.
Curiously, on the other hand, you have Mr. Sarkozy simultaneously taking a more proactive approach in good faith; actually signing deal to share nuclear technology with the United Arab Emirates, proclaiming that "the Arab world should have the same rights to such programmes as other states."
There has been a rush to find energy alternatives in the Middle East, and the nuclear option will not go away any time soon, especially in light of the undesired effects of dirty energy, namely global warming.
If nuclear energy cannot be avoided, then the world should renew interest in the nuclear non-proliferation treaty with all deliberate speed - before the rhetoric gets out of hand.
Though it seems to be a little late for preventing absurd, alarmist rhetoric. If the fuddle-duddle flowing from the trap of the almighty Bush continues to escalate, I dearly hope these impeachment whispers become full-on screams.
