10. Agree on Israel...unless WE do so first...

If our overall Foreign Policy "idea" is that we would World Peace and Non-proliferation, we have to step up and LEAD.

Also agree that it's a regional game. For us to play Honest Broker, we have to get to the meat of what all the players would consider a "win". I would be willing to bet that Israel would lay back a bit on not caring so much if Iran has a nuke, if there were a Government (preferably Democratically Elected) in Tehran that didn't consider "driving the Jews into the sea" to be a noble goal of Iran's Foreign Policy.

Maybe we should tell the Iranian People "We kind of don't care if you know how to build a nuke, and even if you know how to set one off and not kill yourselves in the process, but we kinda would like that to NOT be a part of the Government you have NOW (wink, wink, hint, hint).
