Der Spiegel asks, is Washington planning a military strike against Iran? The fact that there have been stepped up US and NATO visits to Ankara is one sign the reporters are looking at. What they don't take into account? '06 mid-terms. I think most signs are in fact pointing the other way, to more diplomacy, and kicking the Iran can further down the road.
