Of military options and Nabucco genies
"We have to verify the truthfulness of this case despite the difficulty of doing so. What makes this case and complaint more interesting is that it wasn't filed by just one person. Every member of the family is part of this case.” digitaljournal
"Saudi Arabia totally and categorically denies accounts published by a British newspaper regarding contacts with Israel or permission to use Saudi airspace for any hostile activities." Saudiembassy
After the failure in planting green crop in Iran, a couple of bombs would be the only solution .
And the Saudis would be more than happy to lend their soil but they're intelligent enough [I hope] to understand that the consequences will be dreadful .
In a country where traditions and religion are deeply rooted, people would find hard to understand how a ruler could give green light in support of an operation led by Israel against Muslims, even though Iranians are not treasured by the common population either .
If we add that an example of how people can become "slightly impatient"when a totalitarian regime exceeds its limits, was recently witnessed in this part of the world, that alone would be enough to refrain from the idea .
The consequences will be even worse at a regional level, which is why, together with other GCC countries, Saudi Arabia will set up an anti-piracy task force to secure its oil facilities not only from Jack Sparrow but also from "possible" terrorist attacks .
At the same time they're trying to come to an agreement with Syria .
Another reason why, the military confrontation is not an advisable option, is that we all need a stable Iran as partner and til now there's no one who can replace its notorious ayatollahs [Mousavi and his wife are ok for Facebook but to run a country is a completely different story], nor America is offering a valid alternative as interlocutor : after six months we can definitely say that Obama is for sure a great orator but nothing more than that .
From Egypt to Africa, passing through Russia and Italy, he is bringing back home a bunch of dead flies in his hands .
The political isolation of iran of which Amir Taheri speaks, is just gesture politics : even if some leaders cancelled their official visit, they sent their delegates to strengthen ties .
And Europe and America flying on their carpet of dreams filled by Nabucco, will soon forget the rights of the humans and same as they did with Lukashenka and Saakashvili, will be ready to carry another dictator on board .
