um - have you even been paying attention to the ongoing Iran-nuke situation?

Pull up a chair folks: I think Jerry's gonna deliver the meticulously researched, incredibly insightful and incisive post on the Iran situation (including a full run down on possible options and their consequenses) that we've been waiting for....

Time for Détente With Iran

If it hopes to tame Iran, the United States must rethink its strategy from the ground up. The Islamic Republic is not going away anytime soon, and its growing regional influence cannot be limited. Washington must eschew superficially appealing military options, the prospect of conditional talks, and its policy of containing Iran in favor of a new policy of détente. In particular, it should offer pragmatists in Tehran a chance to resume diplomatic and economic relations. Thus armed with the prospect of a new relationship with the United States, the pragmatists would be in a position to sideline the radicals in Tehran and try to tip the balance of power in their own favor. The sooner Washington recognizes these truths and finally normalizes relations with its most enduring Middle Eastern foe, the better.

Still waiting, it's been two days since I posted that. I am anxiously waiting for total spectrum insight from Jerry. NOTHING but the best of nothing will come forth.

Oh and Jerry, I have been paying attention, I would bet a lot more than you have. I spend a lot of time reading and watching the news. It takes some time to form an opinion on things. Or we can all be knee-jerk-reactionists and shoot first, ask questions later. That can be very dangerous.

The show was about nothing, and the poster is about nothing. Solid Jerry, just solid.

Not going to happen if your waiting for a well researched support of the erroneous fnotion that Iran is the biggest nuclear threat.

Nothing they say about the ME being a threat can be proved it is all xenophobic emotional ravings.

Oh yes, remembr back a couple of weeks ago, when the USA tried to say Iran was bringing bombs or bomb technology into Iraq? It was being trumpeted as truth about Iran's actions, well, as was stated by myself and others here, that there was no way. Seems we were correct.

The Wall Street Journal reports troops "uncovered a makeshift factory used to construct advanced roadside bombs that the U.S. had thought were made only in Iran." The main feature of the find were several copper liners that are the main component of EFPs.
