LA Times: Has a report on those running the Obama Policy on Iran, and the options that they face when it comes to dealing with Iran, the most favoured option is containment of a nuclear armed Iran. The problem with half baked idea is that these policy makers are making the mistake in thinking they are dealing with the USSR after the start of the Cold War. Iran is run by a outlaw regime, that is not all that sane, what ever the faults of the USSR leadership under Stalin and his successors, they wanted to keep power within the USSR. The regime in Tehran is not secular, its religious, they decide Foreign Policy, also the President of Iran would like nothing better than to destroy Israel. The national security of Israel is at stake, does not matter what President Obama wants or doesn't want on this issue, if Israel is under threat from a nuclear Iran, Israel will hit Iran hard and Obama will have to go along with the attack if he wants to get re - elected. Thus if Obama follows the advice of those that argue for containment he will set the conditions for a major war in the Middle East within his first term.
