AIPAC = America Israel Political Action Committee http://blog.washingtonpost.com/the-trail/2008/06/02/mccain_calls_iran_foremost_mid.html there are signs we are returning to a cold war with russia we spent about 3 decades about 30 minutes decision time away from nuclear war, with very close calls in 1962 and 1983, probaly more - about the only thing that kept it from happening was the policy of Mutually Assured Destruction combined with the credibility that we DONT STRIKE FIRST Iran said 'the regime of Israel will vanish from the pages of time' (similar to the Soviet Union). This is continuously misquoted as 'we will wipe Israel off the map' ready to go into a cold war with an even shorter fuse, bankrupt?
