Ignoring the news of Irans evildoing
All of a sudden Irans all over the news and not in a good way.
Item: Argentinian prosecutor Alberto Nisman promised to unearth evidence that his countrys president, Cristina Kirchner, is whitewashing Irans role in the most significant terror attacks in the countrys history. Monday morning, as he was set to show the evidence in Congress, Nisman was mysteriously found dead in his Buenos Aires apartment.
Item: Gen. Mohammed Ali Allah-Dadi was a top Iranian military official in Syria, leading his countrys efforts to keep butcher Bashar al-Assad in power. On Sunday, Dadi was killed, along with six operators of Iran and its Lebanese puppet, Hezbollah, on the Golan Heights. Jerusalem officials say the group was busy preparing an attack on Israel.
Item: Abed Mansour Hadi is Yemens elected president, championed by America as the countrys best hope for a better future. On Tuesday his palace was captured and his home attacked. Even if he survives, Hadis reign is likely over, unseated by a Shiite group known as the Houthis, Irans proxy in Yemen.
Oh, and one other, unrelated, item: Secretary of State John Kerry was in Geneva, Switzerland, last week, strolling on a beautiful riverside promenade next to Muhamad Javad Zarif, Irans foreign minister.
Zarif later said the walk was Kerrys idea a photo-op as they tried to advance the talks on Irans nuclear program.
And just to make sure that talks are uninterrupted, President Obama told Congress this week hold your fire. He vowed to veto legislation that would reinstate sanctions and add new ones if Iran fails once more to sign that elusive nuclear pact this spring.
Entering the legacy leg of his presidency, Obama may think hell be enshrined in history with a treaty ending Irans nuclear pursuit. This, even as its fairly clear that the mullahs are far more interested in negotiating an agreement on ending their nuclear pursuit than in ever actually reaching a deal.
And even as America plays the dope in Irans rope-a-dope diplomacy, Tehran is expanding its influence with an eye on achieving regional hegemony.
Obama once told The New Yorker that equilibrium between Irans Shiites and Gulf Sunnis would create a Mideast where theres competition, perhaps suspicion, but not an active or proxy warfare.
