It eliminates them as a nuclear threat to mid-east peace and removes any case for military strikes against suspected nuclear facilities. The 2005 IC assessment was vague enough to allow folks to feel nervous about Iran’s intent and capability.

Iran is still a threat to peace in the region, mostly in Lebanon and between Israel and Palestinians.

However, this estimate brings a big sigh of relief to a lot of people, as I am sure you will agree.

Nicely put together blog, by the way!

Iran hasn’t been threatening Israel’s sovereignty (how could it?), it has been threatening its existence

The report suggests that Iran is not as desperate to get nukes as some people pretend, and suggests likewise that America is not as desperate to invade iran as some people pretend.

No doubt the hint of military action will remain, since it would be hard to argue that Iran’s move away from developing nuclear weapons didn’t coincide somewhat with an increased threat of intervention.

But if we all get what we want without bloodshed thats a good thing.
