Rational Nation USA Purveyor of Truth America and Israel should be thankful for this day . Diplomacy has trumped the USA's and Iranian's war hawks desire for conflict and war. As people become more aware of the specifics of the deal with Iran they will understand that the Obama administration has advanced the likelihood of peace and stability in a volatile region of our world. While there remains much left to do in the region this is a first and historic step. Peace won. War lost. It’s as simple as that. Make no mistake, the framework agreement that was announced yesterday is nothing short of historic. A cycle of escalation has been broken – for the first time, Iran’s nuclear program will roll back, as will the sanctions Iran has been subjected too. In 2003, as I describe in Treacherous Alliance - the Secret Dealings of Israel, Iran and the US, Iran only had 164 centrifuges.

Rational Nation USA Purveyor of Truth Good news on the world stage. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu appears to be losing ground politically with elections just around the corner. We hope the trend continues and Bibi, as well as his Likud party, are swept from power. Far from certain, but the signs are at least hopeful.

Our relationship with the state of Israel has insured it's survival in a hostile and predominately Muslim region. Most states in the region would prefer if Israel simply were vaporized. Standing strong in support of Israel also insured we had a strong (strength built with American military hardware) ally in the region. While there have been ups and downs as there always is in relationships between allies from time to time the present relationship between the Obama administration and the Netanyahu administration is the worst USA/Israeli relations have ever been. This certainly does not bode well for Israel and may, over the long run, have undesirable consequences for the USA if differences are not ironed out and the relationship improved.

While the world will rightly decry Palestinian deaths resulting from Israeli defensive airstrikes, it is also likely many in the USA and other western nations will be critical of Israel and her necessary response to Hamas, a terrorist organization at it's core. GAZA CITY — The number of reported Palestinian deaths from Israeli airstrikes rose Thursday while rockets fired by Hamas struck farther into Israeli territory, targeting Tel Aviv and other cities. Israel claimed Thursday that Hamas is firing a rocket into Israel at a rate of about one every 10 minutes. Israel's military arrived at the figure based on its claims that Hamas has fired more than 400 rockets at Israel in less than three days. That assessment comes as Israel dramatically escalated its aerial assault in Ga...
