#2 Perhaps we can make a deal with Iran. Since Sadr is a deteriating commodity for them, maybe they would agree to swap him for something they could use, like gasoline?

#3 As before, IMO ISRAEL knows that any attack agx Iran's NucFacs invites not only World + "Moderate" Muslim condemnation, but more impor likely IRAN-SPONSORED PROXY TERROR + GENERAL WAR? AGZ ISRAEL, AS WELL AS AGZ US WORLD INTERESTS, whereas IRAN for its part will likely prefer to keep a MEDIA/DIPLOM-CORRECT LOW PROFILE AMAP while it quietly/covertly nuclearizes, AT LEAST UNTIL IT IS READY TO CONDUCT ITS OWN INDIGENOUS NUCWEAPS TESTS, IMO ideally before 2010 NLT 2012 [absolut maxima]. IRAN > knows the more it DELAYS NUCLEARIZATION, THE MORE THE US-ALLIES WILL MILPOL ENTRENCH + HARDER IT WILL BE TO GET RID OF THEM - GEOPOL DIVERSION, NOT TIME FACTORS, IS BEST FOR IRAN AS PER IRANIAN + PAN-ISLAMIST NUCLEARIZATION = WEAPONIZATION.

* INDIAN DEFENCE FORUM > THE WORLD OBAMA INHERITS: IRAN'S NUCLEAR CHALLENGE; + ECONOMIC WOES OR NOT, THE US AND WORLD IS RUNNING OUT OF TIME TO STOP A NUCLEAR IRAN!
* Iran's Radical Mullahcracy are not afraid to use any Nucweapons = WMDS they develop or procure.
* Iran will likely use any newfound NUCLEAR POWER STATE STATUS TO PROMTE, EXPAND ITS AGENDUMS.
* IRAN'S SUCCESSFUL NUCLEARIZATION WILL REALISTICALLY SPELL THE END OF GLOBAL NUCLEAR NON-PROLIFERATION EFFORTS [NPT/NNPTreaty], AND USHER IN UNKNOWN GLOBAL GEOPOL UNCERTAINTIES.

IOW, THE WORLD WILL NEED GMD-TMD WHETHER IT LIKES IT OR NOT.

#4 WORLD MIL FORUM > PRESIDENT-ELECT OBAMA'S NUCLEAR PEACE WILL DECIDE THE TRUE FATE OF IRAN AND ISLAMIST WAR. Be it JIMMY CARTER II, STATUS QUO in Iraq, Afghanistan, + Pakland, OR GEOPOL INSTABILITIES AND CONFLICT IN ASIA, IRAN HAS A GOOD CHANCE OF GETTING ITS NUCLEAR BOMBS.
