Putin confronts USA over Iran

Middle East watchers will know that what is woefully amiss in the mideast is a sense of balance.we may have seen a return to cold war allegiances following
Putin's visit to Iran.In the new Cold War it is a standoff between Israel and Iran.
Israel's sponsor in chief,the united states has lost much credibilty and increasingly the finger of blame is being pointed at the israel lobby who essentially hijacked anti al qaeda sentiment post 9/11 to neutralise Iraq,what they
anticipated was at that time their biggest threat.Now they have set their sites it seems on Iran.despite wayward media speculation about Iran's nuclear capabilities
estimates span from they acquired weapons in '98 to they won't have it till 2016.
one thing is clear both israel and iran have the delivery systems to annihilate eachother certainly through nastier biological and chemical weapons.what is interesting is that in Iran's failing economy,sanctions will have the negative response of emboldening a failing government as anger will turn to the west.Putin used colorful language to describe american policy of sanctions as a lunatic with a razorblade running around haplessly slashing at anything.Putin should be applauded in recognizing that this policy does not serve the global economy ,israel or the aspirations of millions of Iranians who want to live in a more democratic Iran.
