Sorry for the delay

I've been meaning to get back on here for some time now, but alas my summer job hunt has pretty much dominated my attention since I've been home from Brandeis. Enough excuses though, let's get down to business.

The keyword in foreign policy circles recently has been Iran. Khamenei is warning that there will be serious disruption of oil shipments from the Gulf if the U.S. decides to make a move.

''You will never be able to protect energy supply in this region. You will not be able to do it,'' he said, addressing the West.

Ridiculous. If credible evidence is produced that Iran has a bomb, I highly doubt the U.S. will be forced to work with the same fragile coalition it did during Operation Iraqi Freedom. In fact, I would even be willing to bet that the Israelis would be so anxious to neutralize such a threat that the Iranians would be out of luck before you can say "Osirak." No one jokes about wiping Israel "off the map" and hopes to get away with developing a viable nuclear weapon. So maybe what I'm saying is... just don't worry about it.
