Ratcheting up the sabre-rattling, the Dubya administration adds Iran's Revolutionary Guard to its official list of terrorist organizations. "The Revolutionary Guard would be the first national military branch included on the list, U.S. officials said -- a highly unusual move because it is part of a government, rather than a typical non-state terrorist organization." Hmm. This ought to go over like gangbusters. "'It would greatly complicate our efforts to solve the nuclear issue,' said Joseph Cirincione, a nuclear proliferation expert at the Center for American Progress...All of us want to back Iran into a corner, but we want to give them a way out, too. [The designation] will convince many in Iran's elite that there's no point in talking with us and that the only thing that will satisfy us is regime change."
