I agree "GeorgeO", going and talking, telling an "opponent what we can & can not live with" should be the first step toward resolving any dispute. This is even more important in a nuclear world.
In some ways its more then just the Israelis that could push the button on all of this: we have given our oil allies far too much latitude, and none of these states have a long history of prudence in international politics. ...pjwky
