Well put Kat.

The obsession with Iran is horribly misguided. It is merely symptomtic of a slightly primitive policy environment that the only soution that is presented involves warfare.

Iran actionsdo not cause nearly as much rucus as Israel's does.This is not to say that Idrael does not have a right to exist, but it does seem like Israel can do ANYTHING it wishes in the name of "survivial" "self-preservation" and "self defense".

Were Israel's actions tobe curbed a bit or were they even to be treated equally, the ME situation would be diffused SUBSTANTIALLY. It is merely another example of how certain admins prefer to eradicate SYMPTOMS rather than treat the disease ( again Israel is NOT the disease, but rather it is the Palestine - Israel conflict that is the source of much polarization, distrust and anger int he world. Treat that situation in an unbiased manner and MANY potential conflicts can be avoided).
