The flip side of the "strong leader" is the leader who wants everyone to like him, endless debates, vacillation, etc. Jimmy Carter in some instances, but wised up about the Soviets, George H. W. Bush on domestic policy - not adhering to his "no new taxes" pledge. Gray Davis as California governor, who understood the financial problems of the state, but was unable or unwilling to 'grasp the nettle" and pay the political price to fix things. There are times, usually infrequent, when strong leadership is needed - the Hurricanes in New Orleans provide a very clear example. There were even emergency planning exercises of what was to be done, including one exercise less than 6 months before. The better leaders change course when a policy isn't working. Reagan removes troops from Lebanon, Nixon closes the gold window, etc.

"risk": assets of Iranians in the UAE to be about 300bn dollars. Do you think anyone wants this capital to fly back after it flew to "quality"? Come on TJ! Look to all those huge mega projects in Dubai? Oil money? Sure, but not from U.A.E alone, bro! Thus creating the right conditions to keep this capital abroad is good. Now look to my postings about privatization in Iran. Who is going to cough up the moolah for privatize the enterprises. Surely not those companies Bush/Israel wants stopping doing business with Iran. The privatization push is to attract that moolah back!! The Iranians have delirium of grandeurs and want to show the world they can do stuff alone. Thus they will accommodate that capital to fly back. This is the script. The Iranians themselves are not much interested in bringing in foreign companies. They would like to to do business with their folk. That's why they don't mind Bush/Israel blocking the Europeans and Americans companies to do business here. Once the money flies back, they have to accommodate the capital owners and this thing here will open up. There will be conditions attached to that capital flying back. Note, I'm not saying this is the best way to do it. I'm saying the script they want played.I'm just stating the state of IS. Dubai Chamber of Commerce and Industry (DCCI). "We estimate accumulated assets of Iranians in the UAE to be about 300 billion dollars, while trade between the UAE and Iran was about 11 billion dollars in 2006," said IBC vice-president Nasser Hashempour. timesofoman.com
