...similar hardening of positions has been taking place in Washington, with U.S. rhetoric assuming a more confrontational tone in the past two weeks. On Oct. 17, Bush warned that "if Iran had a nuclear weapon, it would be a dangerous threat to world peace" that risked a third world war.

He stubbornly dodged questions about the Sept. 6 attack by Israel on suspected nuclear weapons sites in Syria and, when pressed, shot back at persistent reporters, "This is not my first rodeo." Asked what his definition of torture is, he repeated the now near-meaningless assertion, "We don't torture." On diplomatic efforts to curtail Iran's nuclear program, he said he had told third countries, "If you're interested in avoiding World War III, it seems like you ought to be interested in preventing [Iran...
