Assuming you believe any of this bunk. And I/we 've been lied to so many times it is hard to believe anything said by anyone I can understand not talking without some preconditions as one side would have a reasonable expectation of benefiting by delay: Witness North Korea for the example d'jour.
Quite simply there is only one solution: International inspectors. A refusal to allow them in is a prima facia admission of doing something wrong. A failure by all nations to insist on inspection of all nations is the hypocrisy that manufactures this insanity.
I've little doubt Bush wants a war. I've little doubt the Iranian leadership is equally as stubborn, moronic, and idiotic and will cooperate with him fully. History is full of examples of this: Very few of sanity.
The last time I saw evidence of sanity was Kennedy and Khrushchev. None of the world's current leaders have demonstrated the ability to behave with equal intelligence.
