Re: Has the Iraq War hurt our ability to deal with this whacko PM in Iran?
He is a nuthead, but your picture is wrong. He was not involved in the hostage taking. The guy on the picture on the left is another guy (if you know anybody in Washington, just ask them, and they will confirm it). It was a fabricated rumour by a group of exile Iranis.
Seen isolated, I think that US troops in Iraq and Afghanistan is making it easier to deal with him; but in reality Bush has spent political capital both nationally and internationally that limits his real possibilities to act. It is why he hopes for an European solution, since he really does not want to take military action against Iran.

Um, yeah. Like the Europeans "solved" the genocide in the Balkans during the 90's. We're not holding our breath waiting for the Europeans to "solve" this dilemna.

Not that I am claiming that they will solve it, but as I wrote Bush would not like to get into a mess on this issue now. Of course, if he would get intelligence that they were very close to a bomb, he would still act.

No; Shi'ism is dominant in Iran.
