Iran will come back to the negotiating table, says Vladimir Sotnikov, from the Institute of World Economy and International Relations, who believes the Supreme Ayatollah is making all the decisions and not the president.

Does Fox News appear on White House “enemy list”?News organizations were never intended to be the focus of “the news” per se, but that's what is happening in the US as the White House seems to have lost its patience with a popular news channel. |

“We may see a degradation of internet service”The US congress should make no law regarding internet regulation says Jim Harper of the Cato Institute, who discussed with RT the decision by the FCC to start exploring possible internet regulation. |
USA is Broke, They can't afford another war. This is the main reason that talk has shifted from using mini-nukes in Iran (last Sept.) to "We need tougher Sanctions" China and Russia (Also have excellent trade relations with Iran). They will never compromise those relationships for an uncertain relationship with the west. (We will play nice now, but in 3years, when another Bush is elected?) USA was prepared to invade Iraq in Sep. of last year, if not for the financial crisis, The world would be at war. Now the USA has to bow to it's banks (China and Russia), while trying to hold their heads up high. Last year was the perfect time to strike against Iran. In Aug, of last year. Georgian War took place. Saakashville would have been insane to think that Russia would not retalliate, or protect it's neighbours. A fact that would be known by security analysts all over the world. For whatever reasons Georgia attacked S.O, it gave NATO the perfect opportunity to send warships into the black sea. Warships armed with cruise missiles and mini-nukes to provide AID to georgia. 1Bn USD in AID (bribe or no, can't tell). Their first mission was to rebuild the airfields in Georgia. Now, Iraq to the West, Afganistan to the East, The Persian Gulf to the South, and the Black Sea to the North. The perfect assembly of forces to attack a more formiddable enemy. Iran's forces would have been divided. Iraq and Afghanistan with no military power that could be considered a threat, are still a challenge to the USA. I believe the USA will not leave these countries until the war with Iran has been fought. Rev12A
William of the USA, Good points well made. Thanks for adding that. I forgot to mention that Iran has also made good preparations for 'asymetrical warfare' (they have actually boasted of this in the past). Apparently they have 'representatives' in several gulf states (which host significant US assets), in Argentina (well documented elsewhere), in Venezuela (also well documented), and apparently also in Canada and Mexico. It is also common knowledge that Iran has a significant presence in Iraq. If they have such a 'documented' presence in these countries, I would think that it would be fairly safe to assume that 'representatives' are also present in the mainland US. Either way the uncertainty that such a prescence may present (and which must play havoc with their computer crunched war game scenarios) must surely play a factor in detering any US aggression (and in the US restraining other countries from using force). A big concern of mine would be the US or Israeli response to an atrocity alledgedly perpetrated by, or at least partially blamed on Iran (a proxy attack). Think of another 9/11 type incident - would this give the excuse some have been looking for to use certain weapons not used in anger since WW2?
You think?
