  Tap The Hardboiled Egg!
  Victor Davis Hanson has some excellent ideas for how to deal with the continuing menace of Iran's Imperialist theocracy. An excerpt:
  We all know the Iranian M.O. - nuclear proliferation, Holocaust denial, threats to wipe out Israel, vicious anti-Western rhetoric, lavish sponsorship of terrorists at work attacking Israel and destabilizing Lebanon.
  Most international observers agree on two things about this loony theocracy that promises to take the world down with it: We should not yet bomb Iran, and it should not get the bomb.
  Yet the former forbearance could well ensure the latter reality.What, then, should the United States do other than keep offering meaningless platitudes about "dialogue" and "talking"?
  Imagine that Iran is a hardboiled egg with a thin shell. We should tap it lightly wherever we can - until tiny fissures join and shatter the shell...There is plenty more.
