The U.S. should start sending something other than David Duke into Amadinijad's consciousness.
Specifically, before any one does a sit-down with Amadinijad over Iraq or nukes, or a new sit-down over Afghanistan, we need to publicly announce the suspension of Executive Order 12333.
Order 12333, drafted in the mid-1970s generally is interpreted to preclude the assassination of foreign leaders,
Now Congress can override 12333 and should but if recent Republican Congresses couldn't get it done, it's not likely that the incoming one will.
Perhaps, the President will step-up and send the signal, Ab initio, that the war on terror is real and Iran and Amadinijad should fear the consequence of telling us and our allies that they intend to kill us.
Even if we never attempt it, the signal change from the current Green Light for Amadinijad to Red Light, perilous crossing ahead, will serve to start the meter that presages the toll. For Amadinijad, the meter tolls for thee.
Time for a signal change.
