Worry
Don't worry about things you can't change. You'll only cause yourself problems. Read your bible. Start here and relax:
Matthew 6: 25-34 (NIV)
Do Not Worry
25"Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more important than food, and the body more important than clothes? 26Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? 27Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life[b]?
28"And why do you worry about clothes? See how the lilies of the field grow. They do not labor or spin. 29Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. 30If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not much more clothe you, O you of little faith? 31So do not worry, saying, 'What shall we eat?' or 'What shall we drink?' or 'What shall we wear?' 32For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. 33But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. 34Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own."

Pay Attention to SalimMalik of CA America!
"So if Iran hurry up and finish with the Nuke build up they can really have the chances to wiping out the west part Euro and Israel maybe using terrorist sneaking a few Nuke and wipe out American East Coast where they have large Arab population located, otherwise they could have bring the nuke to Iraq or Afgan blasted away what ever left of American Forces in the area that the bomb might go off. "
Once Iran gets the bomb and then builds 10-20 total bombs, this threat becomes very real. And, here's a nut job living right here amongst us in sunny CA. Like his poor grammar, it's scary now isn't it?
Foreign policy hurts Israel...
Personally, I think Israel would be more than willing to put Iran out of the nuclear business if we did not have a military presence in the Middle East. I know this sounds like a condridiction, but its true. During the Bush administration, Israel hoped that the US would start to pressure the Iranian government into backing off its hostile attitude. Instead, Bush followed the UN with sanctions and speeches asking that Iran disengage its nuclear program. Because Bush was an important ally to Israel, the Israelis didn't try to use any military force so that they could remain friends with their main political ally.
Now Obama's in office, and the Israelis know he isn't going to be much help at all. Right now, Israel probably would be willing to put a stop to Iran's menace, but that would mean they would have to cross over Afghanistan or Iraq. And they won't do that because they don't want to cause any ill-feelings between them and the US. Unfortunately, Iran doesn't have these limitations and will continue to pursue its nuclear program.
Separate Israel and Palestine by 1000 miles!
Find a new homeland for the Palestinians before this conflict causes an atomic war. If necessary steal one. Consider the Congo. This is a large area with no real government. Just survey off a large area, call it new Palestine and deport all the people from the west bank and Gaza. As for the holy places put them under UN control. Moslems get Friday, Jews get the Sabbath and certain holly days. Christians in the Middle east move to Europe and Moslems in Europe go home. This, however, assumes that the entire middle east mess is not following a divine script. In that case God will not permit a solution prior to Christ's return. Note that any solution will be by the Antichrist as specified in Prophesy.
why is Israel and America is suck at disarm Iran Nuke ?
America isn't recover from the economy mest anytime soon, they have on going with internal struggle for power from within ever since the Obama administration took power. Finaly perhap Isreal did wana go to war also but they also go their military tired out after the 2 wars with the Hamas and Hezbollah so can say that American and Israel are stuck in bad shape they wouldn't wana go to war with Iran without well prepare i guess, So if Iran hurry up and finish with the Nuke build up they can really have the chances to wiping out the west part Euro and Israel maybe using terrorist sneaking a few Nuke and wipe out American East Coast where they have large Arab population located, otherwise they could have bring the nuke to Iraq or Afgan blasted away what ever left of American Forces in the area that the bomb might go off. They have a real chances of wining the whole middle east over once they push the American out of those 2 countries, specialy the case of American Force usually cluster up in large junk side in the capital a few Nukes in the Capital that will make the rest of the American Forces there surrender unconditional, just like that black hawk down pilot in Somalia case or the 3 amry personal in Serbia case, Democrat are usally suck at war as u know it Iran might try to flex their military muscle here in this case. You play Modern Warfare Call of Duty 4? I wonder if this case happen can Iran active their Nuke if American and Isreal try kick them out of power by march in there and hit them with every thing they have. The probaly retreated inside the president palace and then set off the Nuke explosion to bring down the American or Israel who is try to pursue them. Well they already see what happen to those regime in Iraq and Afganistan, I mean get real the Jihadis in Iran they might be well prepare to fight this time. Iran is try to get nuke from other country and build nuke at the same time and they ignoring the sanction on them put forward by the UN. Who said Iran need humantarian help from other nations? It just play along try to delay time if it back to the nego table, b4 long if they not deal with properly they can have real posibility to aquire nuke to wipe out the west and it cultures. I pretty sure Iran have missle that could reach Israel maybe even UK if they have Nuke they might attached the Nuke warhead to the ballistic missle and fry Israel and the western Euro like NATO and other UN nations. Everyone in the middle east know that Hezbollah, Hamaz, Islamic Jihad, Fatah are Iran little son rotten apple doesn't fall too far from the tree.
Good Guys VS Bad Guys
To heck with political correctness: here are the facts, plain and simple, in spades:
There are good guy nations (and by that I mean both governments and national attitudes) and bad guy nations. Those who seek to destroy other nations (such as Iran,the former government of Iraq/Saddam City, Hezbollah, Hamas, North Korea, etc.) are bad guys, and we must oppose them, even it means a slobber-knocker world war to end all wars, for our own survuival, as well as basic human morality. China, Libya, Russia...well these guys are very suspectr, and probably come pretty darn close to the bad guy column...I'm not inviting them over to my house for hor deurves & to watch the San Diego Chargers win the next Super-Bowl or anything. Examples of good guy nations include the United States of America, (first and foremost), as well as Israel, Great Britain, Australia, and a host of others. We seek to respect basic human rights, and defend the oppressed, as a matter of national Policy. Bad guy nations include, to name just a few, Iran, Syria, North Korea, Venezuala, Sudan, nations run by dictators like Robert Mugabe, terrorist groups, and a plethora of villians almost too numerable to list here, but you get the idea. Lump into that mix drug lords and other criminals, and good grief, one cannot help but realize a good thumping is what they need. There is something educational about giving bad guys the butt-whooping of the century, for both sides, and that is our moral duty, to stand up for what is right. Be it national or international rogue persons, groups, or governments, if we good guys do not stand together, we will fall seperately. John McCain had it right when he inferred that we needed a new grouping of concerned nations and allies to stand together firmly. I realize that even nations that fall into the bad guy column probably have a few good citizens scattered throughout. Perhaps what we need to do is drop from airplanes millions of copies of our Constitution written in the various native languages of each country; surely that may ignite a tiny spark of righteousness among some of the people oppressed by rogue or tyrannical governments. I am an American Citizen, born and bred, and I feel we do pretty well over-all compared to other nations when we look at the blessings of all the rights & liberties we recognize here, despite a tarnished spot here and there. Arrogant bully bad guys everywhere should light a candle and pray thanks to their Gods tonight that I am not President of the USA, or I would probably start about 10 wars, win them all in under two years, grab all the bad guy nations, dictators, drug thugs, tyrants, rogues, blackguards, and idiotic ideologies by the short-hairs and give 'em a snap, and straighten them out, until all they could do was sing "God Bless America", and become model world citizens. As for me, I'm locked, loaded, & ready for anything! And that, my friends, is where the bear-flop lies in the buckwheat, for real!
Jordan's Role in the ME Peace Process
King Abdullah of Jordan has much to fear from the current situation in the ME. The King has expressed his fears openly that another war will erupt within the next 18 months with dire consequences. US policy should focus on how King Abdullah can be part of the solution.
The key challenge to moving forward towards a genuine peace is one of trust/confidence that the end product will result in a secure homeland for the Jewish People in Israel; a viable civil society for Palestinians in a Palestinian State; and stability for the ME, defined as a significant reduction in terror/extremism, significant improvement in the quality of life, and economic progress. None of the current paradigms provide trust and confidence in sufficient quantities.
A new framework is desperately needed. Jordan, for many historic and pragmatic reasons (an existing peace treaty with Israel; territory that is part of the original Mandate of Palestine; majority Palestinian population; stable civil society; a disciplined and well trained military) is the undervalued and underutilized key to achieving peace in the ME. The simultaneous "birth" of a Palestinian State and a Palestinian Confederation consisting of the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan and the Palestinian State, may offer a framework that provides for trust and confidence.
The Palestinian State would have its own territorial boundaries, governance, police, capital, currency and institutions. However, and this is where the rubber meets the road and would have to be negotiated and agreed upon in advance by the Palestinian Authority and Jordan, defense and foreign policy matters would be under the aegis of the Palestinian Confederation.
Key elements of the Confederation that would make it palatable and marketable would include: 1) the Jordanian military would assume responsibility for the external defense of the Confederation; 2) Jerusalem would be the "seat" of the Palestinian Confederation (the capital of the Palestinian State would be elsewhere)and 3) Economic provisions to insure the financial viability of the newly created Palestinian State.
Clearly there are a number of formidable obstacles, most especially: King Abdullah, the PA and Gaza in the form of Hamas. King Abdullah faces the greatest risk. However, with sufficient support and incentives from the US/EU, the stability of his Kingdom can be secured and he will insure his place in history as the architect of peace in the ME.
Pres. Abbas and the PA are under siege by Hamas. Now is the time for him to seize the opportunity to finally bring an independent Palestinian State to fruition. He needs a crutch to stand on and a realistic vision for success. The US/EU can provide the crutch; Jordan and the Palestinian Confederation can provide the vision for success.
Hamas is both the most deadly and least formidable obstacle. Hamas can derail any peace accord. On the other hand, if the other pieces are firmly in place, its support will wither away.
