yes, netanyahu has no right to be slipping his ongoing
erosion of the very possibility of a two-state solution under the radar, which
he's doing in hebron & elsewhere. he's expecting the palestinians to come
to the table to talk about a state while he eats up the very ground of such a
state.
nonsense.
still & all, obama’s attempt at negotiation with rohani,
netanyahu or the saudis to the contrary, makes complete sense.
no, iran should not get nukes.
but who exactly is going to make war on iran to prevent it?
australia? (lol. gag me with a 'roo. no, not australia.)
saudi arabia, which hates the idea of iranian nukes — much
as it hates the whole of shiite iranian power — as much, or more than does
israel? (see wikileaks for messages attesting to that).
the saudis will only be urging the u.s. on, but barely
mattering in the event. and if the u.s. attacks, will the masses of sunnis
& shiites not forget their increasingly murderous rift and unite against
america? this is not a rhetorical question.
anybody out there with an answer?
israel, of course, opposes iranian nukes, as it must, and
should.
but if iran can be negotiated out of nukes, israel must live
with ongoing iranian enmity.
such is the middle-east.
as for taking out numerous, deep-delved iranian sites, the
military might of israel is clearly not adequate.
else it would have happened. israel would have acted. we
would have read about some explosions in iran — as before in iraq & syria —
and that would be that.
not in this case.
israel needs the united states for this.
possibly the armed might of the united states, as in
anything less than a major ground invasion, involving thousands of "boots
on the ground" might be inadequate.
that's how big iran is & how troubling the military options.
i don't think iran should have nukes.
it would make the world worse.
i can count the ways.
but be advised, americans are not, after bush's stupifying
invasions of iraq & afghanistan, in the mood for a major boots on the
ground type thing.
so tell me, why obama should not explore diplomacy with rohani.
