		<description><![CDATA[Well, EarlyBird, you do not have the expertise Bernard Lewis does. His opinion carry weight, yours does not. Compare, for instance, the works on the Middle East between Grossman and Lewis. 

David Grossman vs. Bernard Lewis. Whom do you trust more on Iran?

		<description><![CDATA[As horrible as Iran is, and as bad as it could be with a nuclear weapon, there is no evidence to me that the government, the mullahs, are in the grip of the radical, apocalyptic suicidal mindset that could not be deterred by MAD. 
The ground troops of Hezbollah and the Revolutionary Guard are, but not the people actually running the show.  I compare them to the people who ran Imperial Japan, i.e., conventional leaders with conventional goals, using kamikazes to carry out missions in service to those goals. You&#039;ll notice that even Osama bin Laden never did a suicide mission, but instead sent out nutjobs to do them for him.  
I believe they will be very sober given the fact that they would be, and already are, facing down 200 Israeli nuclear missiles.  I don&#039;t mean to be sanguine about it, but I don&#039;t want to engage in threat inflation, either.  We could handle the Soviets for 50 years; we can handle this rump country.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Well I would have long ago convened a conference of scholars of Islam and specialists on Iran who would have asked Bernard  Lewis to elaborate on his statement  “In this context, the deterrent that worked so well during the Cold War, namely M.A.D. (Mutual Assured Destruction) , would have no meaning.  At the End of Time, there will be general destruction  anyway.  What will matter is the final destination of the dead-- hell for the infidels, and the delights of heaven for the believers. For people with this mindset, M.A.D. is not a constraint; it is an inducement.”

Why are Bernard Lewis&#039;s views on MAD ignored?

The conference could, for instance, include Raphael Israeli 

From Arab Spring to Islamic Winter 
http://www.madisdead.blogspot.co.il/2013/05/from-arab-spring-to-islamic-winter.html

Matthias Kuntzel , Reza Kahlili , Timothy R. Furnish, Harold Rhode and others. 

At least  the West would have started a discussion on the nature of the Iranian threat and then  it would be clearer what needs to be done.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Obama didn&#039;t want the Iranian Spring. Making a point not to get involved in it. After almost 20 some years of hoping it would manifest itself as being the best solution to the problem.

Obama supported and the press championed the Arab Spring that put our enemy in power.

Obama will not support the Turkish Spring rising from the loss of Secular Rights. Festering for some 20 years.

Obama is taking away our rights, mum on the injection of Islam in the Scools  while reports come daily of the repression of Christian Values from School through society as a whole.

Joe Biden threatened to impeach President Bush if he Attacked Iran when Iran was in no real position to defend itself. So we expect the same Joe Biden to support action now when it can do a much better job of defending itself?

What shall we use after moth balling a Carrier Battle Group and plan to park some third of the Air force Fighter Wings. 

Obama Claims the Drones he IS buying can shoot at US if need be.

Nobody told Obama that the IRS is free to do its own thing. to anybody it pleases, for what ever reason anybody wishes it to be. while nobody needs to know who said it was ok to do so.

Nobody told Obama that his Justice Dept. seems to be filled and run by those Who pick and choose between what lawful laws they can ignore and what unlawful laws they can make up and enforce.



No one told Obama that the FBI, who he wants to give all our Data to is , well, clueless.


No one told Obama that his State Dept. was going to get Americans Killed while the rest of them were screwing around doing who knows what.


So- in the end. No one will tell Obama that the new Man in Iran is a scam and then shizzam, kiblam, it&#039;s the end of Man.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Whoever will be the next president of the Islamic &quot;Republic&quot; of Iran will not really change the basic cruel and ruthless nature of this Islamic regime. Fo rthe real powers in the tyranny are in the hands of the mullahs and Ayatollah Khamenei who oppress and come down hard on the human rights of the people of Iran. They do this through the brutal and vicious gang of thugs who are called the Revolutionary Guards. These &quot;guards&quot; are are as to Ayatollah Khamenie and the mullahs as the SS were to Hitler.  Furthermore, such a heinous and oppresive dictatorship as this  kind is descrined in the Bible. For in Proverbs 15:15 it teaches &quot;All the days of the oppressed are wretched...&quot; Likewise, Provebs 29:2 also explains :&quot;When the wicked rule, the people groan.&quot;  [NIV]

Sir Winston Churchill

To sit back hoping that someday, someway, someone will make things right is to go on feeding the crocodile, hoping he will eat you last--but eat you he will.

		<description><![CDATA[Well, we are back where we were 80 years ago. From the speech by Anthony Eden  as FO undersecretary in Ramsay Mac Donald’s government in the House of Commons on March 23, 1933, taken from William Manchester’s The Last Lion: Winston Spencer Churchill: Alone 1932-1940, page 98: 

How could anyone misinterpret the prime minister’s reply to the rising Nazis? It was certain, Eden earnestly told the House, to “secure for Europe that period of appeasement which is needed.” If appeased, Hitler’s anger would vanish; his fear of encirclement would disappear; the Nazis, freed from anguish and insecurity, would become sensible, stable neighbors in a Europe free of rancor. The House gave him a standing ovation – Churchill and those around him remained seated. 

Is Israel engaging in empty rhetoric?  I do not think so. The PM is reading the right books, that we know.  

What is Bibi reading?
