Inside Iran

The New York Times: Reports that the protests in Iran has gone beyond the rigged election to the foundation of the state, the NYT writes the following, " demonstrators have made it clear that their target is not just.......... the disputed election......but the entire foundation of Iran’s theocracy. " Thus we come to the nuclear issue, the Government of President Ahmadinejad needs the success of the bomb to keep it in power, thus Iran is in a race to get the bomb before the UN passes tough sanctions, if Ahmadinejad does not have the bomb and quick and the there are tough sanctions or a US Naval Blockade of Iran the regime could fall if it does not have the bomb. The question is will Obama follow through and enforce UN sanctions, what if Russia and China just wont go along, what will Obama do, he cant dither or Israel will take action, but can the Obama ego take being the same club as Bush 43. If Israel sees weak sanctions they will strike, Obama can dither but he will have to support Israel or the Congress will over rule him, at the end of the day the Israeli lobby is lot more powerful than the Chicago run West Wing. Lets be honest Obama cant use the race card on Israel. Harsh but true folks, just go and ask Bill Clinton. Thus 2010 should be quite interesting folks, advice to drivers, make sure you have enough petrol in your car, the price of crude Oil could go through the roof.
