The Knews Hound writes an article entitled The Last Normal Day:  21 August 2006:

When the Iranian President wrote to Bush in May of 2006, few realized he was offering the West a truce. If Bush were to convert to Islam, all past grievances would be forgiven. Although it was given scant notice in the news of the day, it was in retrospect a portent of things to come.

Which brings us to Aug 22, 2006.

Many theories were proposed as to what the Iranians would do on the 22nd as pundits of all stripes weighed on with their own pet ideas, and as it turns out a few of them were correct. The world has changed. A rethinking of our relationships and approaches are in order.

Now that the events of the day are behind us, what shall we do now?
