Possibly airstrikes. I can't see anything else that we could throw at them right now. And while it would be a stupid thing to do, Bush really has nothing left to lose at this point, and it would leave a huge steaming pile of **** for the next president to deal with, democrat or non-conforming McCain. I can't see what harm it could do to Bush. With Iraq, he's already alienated anyone who would object, and apart from Spain, it has been evident that voters will not punish politicians who appease him. His opponents are so demoralized that they won't be able to raise much opposition. People have already seen that putting millions in the streets makes no difference, so apathy reigns.

Frankly, Bush could spend a couple of weeks pounding Iran the way the Israelis went after Lebanon. The diplomatic outcry would only be greater because there would be an immediate spike in oil prices. No one likes the Iranians enough to do anything about it.
