Bush has been surprisingly mum about the elections, in which allies of President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad lost ground among the main political groups, which analysts have said was a setback for the fiery leader and a possible sign of growing frustration among Iranians.

Why hasn't Bush used the election results as an opportunity to try to reign in Iran through diplomacy?

I'm paraphrasing the late Israeli leader Abba Eban, but Bush, it would seem, "never misses an opportunity to miss an opportunity" when it comes to diplomatic solutions for the Middle East.

I want every casual visitor to DU to see how the blivet is about to screw us over again. I want to shove it in their faces that the idiot son has less than no interest in stopping the carnage.

I want him exposed to as many people as possible what a relentless, soulless, gore dripping monster he always has been and always will be.
