It's interesting to see what neocon's cooperator Cheney has to say at this point in time. From the interview, we can see Cheney himself now wants to deal with the Iran Issue diplomatically. And he also hinted that whether Israel wants to attack Iran it's up to Israel itself. Clearly, Israel and the US neocon ally always want to stop Iran’s nuclear program even that means military actions or their Middle East dream will break. But the key problem of the whole thing is, even Israel and the most hawkish neocons themselves are hesitating about the military action against Iran, apparently due to 1. Uncertain about whether the military strike can effectively eliminate Iran's nuclear program in all secret locations; 2. The Iranian's retaliations against Israel with its new missiles and “terrorist” strikes. 3. Political consequences after military attack against Iran. The risk and cost of military action is big backfire (the head part). But Israel and the neocons cannot wait, because the Iranians continue to build the bomb(the heart part). So we are seeing the situation that Israel/US neocons’ are jumping up and down and racing against the clock. To strike or not to strike, the heart is now wrestling against the head. Their head seems somehow on top, according to some recent signs. Let's see what's up next.
