[Arktwo] How do you figure?
Well, I still don't figure it this way -
but here is today's source.

Mon Apr 3, 3:14 PM ET
OSLO, Norway - Former U.N. chief weapons inspector Hans Blix said Monday
that Iran is a least five years away from developing a nuclear bomb, leaving
time to peacefully negotiate a settlement.
----------
Without playing word games
about the difference between
atomic bombs and nuclear bombs -
it didn't take the US five years
starting from scratch -
to build the bomb
that was dropped on Hiroshima.
Surely,
with all of Iran's PhDs
existing plans on the Internet
help from Russia, Pakistan, North Korea,
all the parts and pieces
that they are supposed to have purchased
from France, Germany, Ukraine -
it isn't going to take them that long
to build something
that would make quite a dent in Israel -
if they start today -
and they started years ago.
----------
An alternate view
is that they already have nukes -
that they purchased -
along with the means to deliver them.
It really doesn't make any difference
what I believe
or what you believe -
the key is what Israel believes.
----------
To make the current situation
more interesting
check out Russia's views
on this recommendation
from the

Council on Foreign Relations:
"To ease Russian pressure on neighboring states," it said, "the United
States should work to accelerate those states' integration into the West."
Russian response:
"We are gradually being pushed to the northeast of the Eurasian
continent away from the seas . . . to the place where the depths of freezing
is more than two meters," said Natalia Narochnitskaya, vice chairman of the
international affairs committee in the State Duma, the lower house of
Russia's parliament, and a member of the nationalist Rodina Party.
She rues the loss of the three Baltic states to European Union and NATO
membership and the possible loss of Russia's naval presence on the Black
Sea.
To which
the Council on Foreign Relations
responds:

"the United States could hit Russia and China without serious risk of
retaliation."
----------
Nope, the folks in Washington
are just a bit putout that
Russia is giving Iran
a free pass at the UN Security Council.
The IAEA has been given thirty days
to report back -
but Iran said the day that
the Security Council directive came out -
"Don't bother -
the UN Security Council can stick it."
And Russia has already replied -
"Oh, well okay."
----------
About every other day
Iran reports having tested
another weapon.
But Blix, Russia and China
all say that isn't anything serious.
At one time -
I thought I had it figured out.
Netanyahu said he would have
attacked Iran in December
if he had the choice.
But Sharon seemed to be
getting things lined up for January,
when the stroke struck.
So -
that left Olmert
facing the elections
and he wasn't a general
like Sharon or Netanyahu -
so I haven't a clue as to his strategy.
It is said -
that he planned it that way -
that no one knows what he plans to do.
Anyway -
Passover will pass
about the middle of April.
Iran's thirty days will be up
by the first of May -
and the report back
for Security Council decision
probably before the middle of May -
but I don't know
that any of that makes any difference.
----------
No need to go on about
all the stuff happening
in the world.
Racism and immigration demonstrations
in the US.
Over a thousand being killed
each month, now,
in Iraq.
Hamas and the hard-line -
in Palestine.
Tornados, earthquakes, volcanoes -
even nature is stirred up.
Skipping the speculations
about reverse speech -
and peoples dreams -
it is all just saying
that many people in many places
have a sense that things
are moving forward toward
a major event of some sort.
Meetings today in Whitehall,
and editorials in UK papers
with speculations that
it is about to come down in Iran.
Many, many conventional people -
at high levels in the government
and media
with this point of view.
But - personally -
I am giving up
at least for the moment
with predictions -
after my fiasco in December
leading up to January.
God had other plans for Sharon -
and none of us know what He has in store
for any of us -
or all of us -
collectively.
I will tell you one other little thing.
It is key to keep in tune
with the Divine will -
and while I don't have
any private pipeline -
I have always felt very, very blessed -
and it does seem
that things are coming together
- in some ways for the first time -
on this end.
My bottom line recommendation is
to stay with the prep program -
but it is keeping me very busy -
from very early to very late -
each day.
Peace and love,
Bruce
