>> Have you read Stephen Kinzer's "All the Shah's Men" by chance?

I am afraid not. It is on my list of books to read, but there is just so many of them...if only I could have a direct fiber optics connection to my cerebral cortex! I'd appreciate it if you could give a summary of the book.

>> In Israeli Prime Minister Moshe Sharatt's personal diaries...

Any ideas how I could get my hand on the diaries?

>> In this battle of wits, the Iranians have the clear moral superiority.

They have something else on their side too, TIME! Actually, in the current situation, everyone has time on their side except the US. Nukes are a 60 year old technology. It is inevitable that sooner or later (probably sooner) the developing countries will get their hands on it. Our problems will not be solved by military might alone. We need a human solution to this. The window of opportunity lasts only for a few more years (say 3-15 years). If we don't have good solutions by then, it will be too late.
