Answer to what? You weren't asking a question, were you? I was giving my opinion to your statements about "Bush Derangement Syndrome".

it's about Iran, stupid. not what you think neoconservatism is.

Neoconservatism is directly related to Iran. This problem is not a one-sided issue with whether Iran is willing to do or not do something. Viewing it in such a manner is oversimplistic, erroneous, and will not assist in gaining a peaceful solution to the region (whether that ultimately is military attack or via diplomacy). The neoconservative policy which is driving this Administration's decisions and policies is directly linked to how we will be dealing with Iran as well as other hostile countries in the Middle East (and elsewhere - Venenzuela for ex. We cannot discuss how Iran will or will not behave without discussing how this neoconservative-driven Administration will or will not behave. Surely you know that.
