Why not "containment?"
David Gregory the MTP man asked Bibi that today. Good question, why not? The response was that the Iranian leaders hold their fanatical Shia Islamic beliefs to have much more importance than the national survival of their country. One can only ask what the evidence is for that. They supply Hizbullah in Lebanon? I don't see a lot of shooting out of Lebanon into Israel since 2006. They supply their Syrian ally? Israel used to supply its Iranian ally. That was the basis for the Iran-Contra Affair. Bibi mentioned Iranian suicide bombs and said they were wide spread. Where is that - exactly?
Why not "containment?"
Why should the US not have "containment" for its policy in regard to Iran? Does the United States also believe that Iran is ruled by madmen? Do Iranian naval units rush upon US vessels in the Gulf to blow themselves up? Have the Iranians scuttled vessels in the Strait of Hormuz to block the oil trade? Has Iran invaded Iraq since we left? No, then why not "containment?"
Towards the end Gregory told Bibi that he (Bibi) was the "leader of the Jewish people." Is that really true? Is that what Gregory meant to say? If it is, then one must ask if he is David Gregory's leader? pl
