Its not the markets are dog gogoing d of the two music strings that we have. I would, too, but its confusing now because people at home are like, oh, no, what happened . No, no, this is a hey, everybody if i can say one thing to you who pushes back if i have an opinion, you have the opposite. But did coke and mccdonalds yesterday matter, as i said .

President bush and president obama didnt agree on a lot in Foreign Policy but they both agreed a nucleararmed iran is unacceptable. If thats the case for nucleararmed iran is unacceptable and diplomacy fails that leaves us with one option the military option.

The question is it worse or better than deterrence and containment if diplomacy fails . First i talk about the israeli option. Many people may think of the military option think israel would do it and not the United States. The problem with the Israeli Military option is they dont have the capabilities to destroy irans key Nuclear Facilities.

That time i was in Foreign Foreign Ministry and he raised iranian willingness to establish such a cooperation with their neighbors. But gcc was not in position because of the u. S. Position, opposition. I really dont believe iran is going to have a dominant role in the region which is the conventional understanding care. Iran has more Regional Cooperation with the neighbors including saudi arabia. Jeff, what i said about the u. S. Departure from the region, i never m
