It is Politics. However, it is not just U.S. politics.
And, as it turns out, the Israeli lobby is more influential in formulating U.S. foreign policy toward Iran than all of the nation’s intelligence services put together.
Hence U.S. politicians from the president on down, chase shadows, in terms of definable policy (like sanctions against Iran).
What happens when a well-armed individual just knows, in his gut, that the other guy is plotting to destroy him? Chances are something horrible will happen.
And, the American public ought to know that because collectively we have already lived out this tragedy in 2003. In that year we had leaders who were influenced by their guts, by religious imagery, by duplicitous Iraqi con men, by scheming Zionists and ideologically driven neo-cons, than anything vaguely resembling hard evidence. That “something horrible” cost the lives of up to a million human beings.
So let us get this straight. It seems there are two worlds. The real world of facts and evidence and the unreal world of fantasy. Our political leaders and their advisers are, apparently, stuck in the unreal one. Their words, and their policies, are built on the assumptions of this fantasy world. They go to war and kill people based on beliefs that are demonstrably false.
Most of the poor Americans are stuck in their own local niches and beyond them they do not know what is real or unreal.
So we rely on others to tell us what to believe. Who are the others? They just happen to be our political leaders, their advisers and follow-the-leader media commentators.
How does the United States work with an Iran -- or an Egypt, for that matter -- acting to promote its interests as it sees them, rather than as Washington defines them?
America needs better relations with Tehran to begin improving ties with the growing number of Islamist political orders across the Middle East, which is essential to saving what’s left of the US position in the region.
It also needs Tehran’s help to contain the rising tide of terrorism ( or national liberation according to who interprets) in the region -- a phenomenon fueled by Saudi Arabia and Washington’s other ostensible Arab allies in the Persian Gulf.
Iran is a critical player for shaping the future not only of Iraq and Afghanistan, but Syria as well. More than ever before, American interests require rapprochement with the Islamic Republic. Continued US hostility only may lead to strategic disaster.
Good point They will never surrender but fight to the last man But How are they going to fight unless some states/nations/multi billionaires are ready to fund and supply the necessary weapons and more importantly territories from where they can launch a fight to the finish Mind you every empire has a shelf life so are the Zionist Empire of Firauns Who fought to liberate the Muslim lands from Stalins Russia
