No one could accuse George Bush and his cronies at the White House of having the wit, let alone the intelligence, to consider and evaluate their actions. As the US Administration ramps up the rhetoric about Iran and its President - sabre-rattling is the only word for it! - the LA Times reports that the very actions of the Americans in "attacking" Pres.
