Not only did the people of Venezuela thwart the power grab of their socialist leader Hugo Chavez, but now we learn that maybe Iran is not close to having a nuclear bomb after all. Most people, I suspect, greeted that latter revelation from a new intelligence assessment with a sigh of relief. The way it is being spun, though, in the media is that this is a “blow” for the Bush administration! Does anyone think that President Bush relished having to deal with this intractable problem? Oh, yes, I realize some people do. But I would just like to observe that the intelligence finding came from the Bush administration. Perhaps the partisans should be suspicious of this good news, as various foreign policy nightmares are apparently getting resolved.
