Instead I think it's a shuffling of the deck for the next hand of head's up international war. Watch as Iran give the Taliban military support to take the Swat Valley and get Islamabad's nuclear stash.

I wonder if Obama's anti-war supporters will remember that come election time? I wish I could believe this was an act of good will.
