Jay is saying that modern Iran is a result of US policy. NYT = New York Times. Israel probably should have released all Lebanese prisoners a long time ago and reduced the legitimacy of Hizballah in the eyes of average Lebanese. Interesting though that the Lebanese prime minister now says that he wants to take control of S. Lebanon. Unfortunately it seems to late as the Israeli attacks now look to me like preparation for an invasion. Ahmedinejad is seen I think as a populist blusterer and people don't take him seriously. Many inside Iran don't either from what I read. I talked with my mother. She didn't seem very concerned. Less than me. My brother had been going to go on vacation with his family to Tel Hai she told me which is right on the border of Lebanon north of Qiryat Shemona. She did say: "I wonder what Sharon would have done?"

Ski, I'm Elmat El Moderator. The way I look at it: TJ said he didn't take his view from the China Daily but from the FT. There are other views that are not exactly what's written on the NYT. There's no need to go to Adam and Eve, nor even to Darius or Cyrus. Albeit the problems in tha part of the world are as old as world itself, the whole construction as it stands today, took shape as oil became strategic and powers split the world based on allegiances of the tribal leaders in power at a given time: "Lets put that pliable desert dweller in power and we take in the resources" The populace after a few years: "We are being screwed here! We want part of that moolah being generated" "Al right! lets make a movement of national liberation!" "Yes, let get democracy!" and so it went... and the governing elites -descendant of the pliable desert dwelers: "Lets get some oil money for the locals. Free health, employment in the ministry of drinking tea, pseudo armed forces, no taxes and religion force fed." Look to the whole GCC area.
