Aaron David Miller former U.S. diplomat and astute Middle East Observer offers five observations on the Iran imbroglio. At Foreign Policy
Bottom Line: Bombing won’t do any good.
Very good. Reason No.6:The West owes Israel a lot as a result of its politicizing around during the ’40s. That debt does not cover the crazy things Bibi Nehenyatu has to do to keep his crazies in his coalition. I wouldn’t A-bomb anybody for the tea party either.
Reason 8. Pakistan helped Iran w/ nuclear before and may give them one or two new onws.. Israel is seven miles wide.
Reason 1: from past experience we know that many innocent civilians die in these operations, which are thus cruel and immoral.
Reason 2: the destruction of the fabric of Iranian life, history, art and culture, along the lines of what happened in Iraq, would be a terrible crime.
Question: Is it wag the dog time again?
