I just want to say that nowhere in the British media has there been a mention about the fantastic humanitarian work now being carried our in Haiti by the Israelis. They have a modern field hospital fully equipped there and no country has more experience in dealing with trauma on this scale

Thank you for yet another interesting article, Mr. Shepherd.

The Western policy regarding Ahmadinejad and Co. has once again proved to be too naive.
Israel can now safely say “told you so” to the West, as it’s long ago learnt that the “nice” approach wouldn’t work here.
These are not people who you can rationally talk or negotiate with.

Now the million-dollar question (or should i say the nuclear-bomb question) is whether (and if yes then when) will the West wake up before the non-return point.

If we do find ourselves with nuclear-armed Iran (and probably some other Arab countries that will follow), Western policies for such a reality should be already in place. Currently it seems that no such policies even exist…

So Iran’s claims that “Mossad” assassinated their nuclear physicist is doubly funny.

It looks like the path is being set for this century’s second decade: the decline of Europe,US (isolationism and decline),the competing interest of the emerging economic powers of China, Russia and India, and Iran as an instrument to start facilitating the change.
