It is reassuring to see Binyamin (Bibi) Netanyahu at the helm in Israel, especially in the context of the new regime in Washington DC having a ‘peace at any cost’ approach. The recent Israeli warning to Iran, backed up by history, is a case in point. While Iranians have every sovereign right to develop newer energy sources, the idea of having nuclear weapons in the hands of openly militant clerics is unnerving. These clerics, again as history has shown, are rational, calculating folks who understand well the difference between lawyerly admonition and robust warnings. If lasting peace for all peoples in the Middle East is to come, it will not be with a nuclear armed Iran that has been appeased by State Department's pant suit wearing lawyers. Rather, such a permanent peace will include an Iran that is a free, democratic, and humane participant in global civilization. Bibi knows it; Hillary doesn’t.
