The West on Iran's Nuclear Trigger

Sky News/Foreign Matters: Excellent article by Tim Marshall of Sky News on how the UN and the West has been quite since the news broke last night that Iran could have a nuclear trigger since 2007. It has been interesting watching the news today, not a lot of comment on the fact that Iran could be weeks or months away from having a nuclear trigger. Of course Iran as always is playing a double game, thus the recent news that the three American holidaymakers would crossed the border between Iran and Iraq by accident are to be tried as spies. The Government in Tehran it can be postulated will throw the book at the Americans, even the death penalty as way to force the the USA to talk to them, of course Iran could drag this out for weeks or months, you get the idea, the end result Iran has the bomb. Thus we come back to my favourite hobby horse, when is Israel going to get off its backside and take care of this problem, Israel cant count on Obama, his dithering over Afghanistan is a classic example of weakness that would have shown up on the radar of Iran. Thus Israel its down to your, this 1981 again, and of late Syria, time for you take action, for your own protection and the region.
