Obama: Diplomatic solution with Iran plausible
2012-03-07
...although the probability, at whatever confidence level you like, is considerably closer to zero than one.
US President Barack Obama said at a Super Tuesday news conference that he believes a window of opportunity in which diplomatic means with Iran can be achieved does exist. He said Israeli officials also think a diplomatic solution is plausible.
 
Obama said that Iran is deeply affected by the sanctions used against it and that the united world stands in front of an isolated Iran. In regards to Iran acquiring nuclear weapons, Obama said that he is doing all he can along with Israel to prevent Iran from achieving its goal.

I agree with every word.
there is only one mistake here. Egypt is not "becoming" an enemy. It is already a serious enemy who intentionally turned the Sinai peninsula into a no man's land with Al Kaida and Beduin terrorists reigning supreme and freely moving everywhere.
The only reason Egypt does not attack Israel is their internal political instability and economical problems.
I expect them to attack us at the first convenient opportunity they have.

#1  Should create a map that divides Iran up by ethnic groups. I've read a lot of no Persians are unhappy with the current Iranian borders. Carve out a Baluchistan, Shia Arabistan, Kurd East and Aberbejwhatever. Then support any uprisings with extensive air power for humanitarian reasons.

If Israel is smart (and under Bibi I believe they are) they will prepare to solve the Hezbollah and Hamas problems once and for all when war comes with plans for dislocating Palestinians if things really get bad. Gotta think long term. Syria and Iran might end but Egypt is also becoming an enemy again after all.
