Having reviewed the previous links attached to my last few posts, the devil really is in the details. I did express some optimism in reading between the lines of the headings, (unlike some who have difficulty getting through the title of a memo)it does depend on actual changes that will be brought about.
Iran vows missile retaliation to any attack
Accuses Britain and United States of arming rebels in its south
Things have changed after September 11th, 2001, though I am not so sure they were not preempted, but that is at least the change. The whole idea of preemption depends on not saber rattling or you have preempted the action with words. If that is what has changed since 9/11, then nothing has changed for the better, except that things would be better if it were a dictatorship. And Plato in his Republic knew there was no process that could produce a benevolent dictator, so what we have is a feeling that preemption of the process is needed. Maybe the only thing left is hope and prayer, but it might really depend on not preempting them with words and having faith in the process.
