Prefer Peace

Reuters news service included this remark today in an article about Iran's nuclear program:


"Tomas Valasek, director of foreign policy and defense, Center for European Reform, said if the needs of Iran's research reactor were to dictate the process there would be no agreement.

"That's a deal breaker, because of course the whole idea behind the deal is let's get all of the stuff out so that we win more time so that the Israelis don't feel itchy and don't bomb Iran in the next few weeks," he said."

We hope too that the Israelis don't get itchy and bomb Iran--but if the Iranian government does not make some positive moves the Israelis are not such fools as to allow them to strike first.

I assume that the common people in both countries would much prefer peace.

I assume that all "common people", everywhere would much prefer peace.
