My guess is it's no more than an attempt to take the pressure off because it's been getting to them (sanctions, Stuxnet, "assassinations", etc.). If that's the case I don't think it will work with Israel and I hope it won't work with us.
I agree with this assessment (as far as seeking to take the pressure off). They are tired of the terrorism (minus the sanctions of course) being thrown their way, and, rather than retaliate in kind, they are looking to diplomacy for a reprieve. Man, that's just crazy.
This is now public media talk about Israel trying to drag us into war with Iran. The consensus is they cannot do it alone. They our need our military might. We need to distance ourselves from this. The Roman's finally fell when the Goths overran them, I think, they were Germanic, I remember that for sure. It was their last war. Not because the Goth's were better warriors, but because Rome was war weary and out of money. This does not need to happen to us too.
As noted in the economics thread, thank you for all the information. Real scary stuff, tough to read. c
