The Times: Reports on the death of Grand Ayatollah Hossein Ali, a critic of the regime in Tehran. Is it to much to hope for that this could start a revolution in Iran, could people power bring down the regime, if not War in the Middle East next year.

The Chicago Way and Iran
ABC News: Reports that the Obama Administration will take a tough stand on Iran at the end of the year. The Obama Administration will try to get tough sanctions out of the UN Security Council, the question is will China and Russia go along with the deal, they have economic interests in Iran and don't want to be left with a new regime in Tehran that owes its existence to the West and might turn cold on either China or Russia. Thus one can expect that Russia and China will demand more talks and soft sanctions, in other words nothing, this will force POTUS to either go the Chicago way, in other words kill off the regime in Tehran or try to prevent Israel taking military action, that will be the choice in the new year folks. Obama in his hearts of hearts would like to contain Iran as the West did with the USSR during the Cold War, but this will not be good enough for Israel, either Obama takes military action or Israel will, then see the price of oil go up folks. Thus watch events in the Middle East at the start of the new year folks, if Israel goes quiet about attack plans then they are up to something, Israel will get tired with Obama and just strike Iran, Obama will have NO CHOICE he will have to support Israel or be critical and be one term President, another core element of the Democratic Party is the Jewish vote, these voters will not tolerate for Obama to be on the same page as Iran, no matter how many Peace Prizes Obama is given by Europe. If Obama was critical he would lose re-election in 2012.
