		<description>I would like to comment on Professor Chomsky&#039;s assertion that the Israeli Lobby is not powerful enough to force legislation through the US Congress based on what transpired in the case of sanctioning Iran.

If Anglo-American oil interests want war, there will be war.  If they want business, then there will be business with partners and war with competitors.  Iran and Iraq are the only inexpensive oil reserves left in the world so, as competitors, they will be neutralized through whatever means necessary.  

But both the US and Israel are subordinate to Anglo-American oil interests and the banks that move them like bishops on a chessboard.  

The situation, I would argue, is not one of Israel v. corporate America, but of autonomous states v. hegemonious banksters.  

If Iran wasn&#039;t going behind everyone&#039;s back and talking with the banksters, they would be toast by now.  The banksters are looking at all that cheap oil in Iran and, if they can get their hands on it, would not need Anglo-American anything.  

The rest, as they say, is window dressing.</description>

		<description>Prof. Chomsky, I thank you for expressing your wise observations and take on some of the problems we have neglected for over 50 years. Please allow me to add to your observations a &quot;Foreign Policy Challenge: Middle East&quot; for the administration of President Obama.

A. Palestinian Independent State:

The problems of Palestinian subjugation to Israel occupation are the seeds for an unstable world including the Middle East. Many expect, as previously stated by Iran and many Arab counties, that they would not reject a reasonable break through between Washington and Israel over the Palestinians home state. However; many political analysts have suggested that any resolution about Palestinian state would be a non-starter with Israel. The success or failure of the administration of President Obama with Israel would determine the nature of future stability for the Middle East.

B. Iranian Nuclear Fuel Cycle:

There is no dispute that Iran is already a nuclear state. The states with this capacity are many; among them are Japan and Germany. But, there is a great difference between being a nuclear state, i.e., nuclear fuel cycle capacity, and a state with nuclear bomb, such as India, USA, Russia, England, France, China, Israel and Pakistan. 

The steps required to allay our fear that Iran in the future may develop Nuclear Bomb are: 

1. Nuclear Fuel Cycle Iranian Consortium:
USA should join the consortium among others Japan, Germany, France and England to actively monitor the Iranian fuel cycle activity too. IAEA has consistently asserted that the agency could not find any indications that Iran is diverting the fuel cycle for nuclear bomb development. Iran has asserted that their activities are limited to development of fuel for nuclear reactor.

2. Nuclear Shield
An international nuclear shield for all nations in the Middle East, including Iran;

3. A nuclear- bomb-free Middle East.
This action will remove any pressure from Iran to develop nuclear bomb in the future for deterrence against nuclear bomb Israeli state.

Unfortunately the attentions of the past two US Presidents (Clinton and Bush) were on nuclear fuel cycle of Iran. They both ignored that Israel had nuclear bombs. The Middle East should be the starting point toward President Obama’s dream of a world free of all nuclear bombs.</description>
